The following discussion is an archived proposal of the WikiProject below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the project's talk page (if created) or the WikiProject Council). No further edits should be made to this page.

The resulting WikiProject was not created

Description

Projects on computer science and related fields exist, but there appears to be no project on software engineering. Software engineering is distinct from computer science because software engineering focuses on the entire development process, including requirements analysis, unit testing, domain engineering, etc., all of which are out of the scope of WP:WPCS. The latter two are currently handled by WP:COMP though in my opinion it is slightly out of their scope.

The WikiProject on Software Engineering would cover all phases of software development processes, including the lifecycles themselves, such as Crystal Clear, and any related tools and technologies software engineers use to maintain quality and management such as hardware-in-the-loop simulation and continuous integration.

Discussion

IT would be nice if there were more Engineering disciplines with WikiProjects... like WP:WikiProject Electrical Engineering , WP:WikiProject Computer Engineering ... with this proposal, there's only WP:WikiProject Civil engineering and the top level WP:WikiProject Engineering. 76.66.193.224 (talk) 05:07, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
