Kind of amazed at this comparison of #SWEBOK terms with those in software engineering job listings and software engineer profiles at @icseconf .

Big takeaway: many job listings have expectations for soft skills (communications, problem solving, writing) which don't appear on job seeker profiles. It might be a fast way to get your profile to the top of the list!

SWEBOK Summit Talk: Defining Software Engineering Terms: Comparing SWEBOK to Job Postings (ICSE 2025 - Panels and Special Sessions) - ICSE 2025

ICSE, the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering, is the premier software engineering conference. It will be held April 27-May 3 2025 in Ottawa. Core conference days will be Wednesday April 30 to Friday May 2. 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of ICSE, which was first held in 1975! If you are registered, pick up your badge and envelope at the registration desk which opens at 8 a.m. Sunday April 27th in the RCC area of the second floor of the Rogers Centre. It will open at 8 a.m. every morning throughout the conference, except Wednesday April 30th when it will open at 7:3 ...

What a major healthcare company considers basic software engineering training (10 days, in person, offered 6 times per year with 25 learners with 2-4 years of experience per session) at #ICSE2025 - #SWEBOK Summit

I'm at #ICSE2025 today, at the #SWEBOK Summit, where I'm going to give a short talk on how the SWEBOK v4 would be different if research software engineering #RSEng had been incorporated.

My abstract, written with @JeffCarver, @npch, Miranda Mundt, and Colin Venters, is https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14950265

Research Software Engineering: A SWEBOK Specialism?

The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) V4.0 was released in October 2024, introducing new topics to enhance foundational knowledge in software engineering, updating existing knowledge areas, and retiring outdated subjects. It aims to better align related disciplines by reorganising and renaming content within different knowledge areas. Established in 2012, the field of research software engineering has grown rapidly as a movement in many countries. However, there is currently an insufficient transfer of state-of-the-art knowledge from software engineering to research software engineering and domain researchers, and vice versa, in part, leading to an incomplete understanding in software engineering of the domain-specific and general challenges in research software engineering. In this extended abstract, we imagine an alternative SWEBOK where this 12-year history of research software and over 10,000 research software engineers were included.

#SWEBOK #SofwareEngineering #SoftwareArchitecture #SoftwareDevelopment #IEEE #CyberSecurity #SoftwareSecurity #Agile #DevOps: "The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK Guide), published by the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS), reflects the current state of generally accepted, consensus-driven knowledge derived from the interaction between software engineering theory and practice. Its 18 knowledge areas (KAs) summarize key concepts and include a reference list for detailed information.

The latest version of the SWEBOK Guide introduces new topics, updates existing ones, and retires outdated subjects. Agile and DevOps have been notably integrated into several KAs due to their widespread adoption since the previous edition. Additionally, three new knowledge areas—Software Architecture, Software Engineering Operations, and Software Security—have been added to enhance the foundational knowledge in software engineering. The new Guide also aims to better align related disciplines by reorganizing and renaming some content within different knowledge areas. The table of contents for Version 4 is shown in the following figure."
