SWEBOK AND ISO/IEC 12207 AS AN INTEGRATED FOUNDATION OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Abstract

The paper analyzes the core of SWEBOK knowledge, which is recognized as a basic scientific and technical document summarizing the consolidated opinion of leading Russian and international ex-perts in the field of software engineering. The analysis of ten SWEBOK knowledge areas has been carried out, and their conditional division into basic and organizational ones has been performed. The semantic relationship between the SWEBOK subject areas and the software lifecycle processes established by the ISO/IEC 12207 standard is demonstrated. Special attention is paid to the issues of requirements management, design, construction, testing, maintenance, as well as software configura-tion and quality management. The advantages and disadvantages of the considered knowledge core are noted, including the absence of some modern programming methods in it
