Software engineering may be defined as the systematic design and development of software products and the management of the software process. Software engineering has as one of its primary objectives the production of programs that meet specifications, and are demonstrably accurate, produced on time, and within budget. This paper in five parts discusses the principles and practices used by the IBM Federal Systems Division for the design, development, and management of software. The general principles of software engineering are set forth in Part I, in which the author relates software engineering to the whole field of the system development process-system engineering, hardware engineering, software engineering, and system integration. Presented briefly are overviews of the major aspects of software engineering--design, development, and management.
