The Preface to the 2004 version of the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge states:
The purpose of the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge is to provide a consensually validated characterization of the bounds of the software engineering discipline and to provide a topical access to the Body of Knowledge supporting that discipline. (Abran et al. 2004, preface)
SWEBOK Guide Version 3
Version 3 of the SWEBOK Guide is being developed and will be completed in late 2011 or early 2012. Version 3 of the SWEBOK Guide contains 15 knowledge areas:
- Software Requirements
- Software Design
- Software Construction
- Software Testing
- Software Engineering Methods
- Software Maintenance
- Software Configuration Management
- Software Quality
- Software Engineering Process
- Software Engineering Management
- Software Professional Practice
- Software Economics
- Computing Foundations
- Mathematical Foundations
- Engineering Foundations
The description of each knowledge area includes an introduction, a descriptive breakdown of topics and sub-topics, recommended references, references for further reading, and a list of standards most relevant to the knowledge area.
The similarities and differences between the SWEBOK and SEBoK knowledge areas are described in Software Engineering and Systems Engineering: Similarities and Differences
Related Disciplines
The SWEBOK Guide also contains a chapter on related disciplines, which include:
- Computer Engineering
- Business Management
- Project Management
- Quality Management
- Systems Engineering
The related disciplines are those that share a boundary, and often a common intersection, with software engineering. The SWEBOK Guide does not characterize the knowledge of the related disciplines but rather indicates how those disciplines interact with the software engineering discipline.
