The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) is an international standard ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005[1] specifying a guide to the generally accepted Software Engineering Body of Knowledge.

It has been created through cooperation among several professional bodies and members of the industry and is published by the IEEE Computer Society (IEEE).[2] The standard can be accessed freely from the IEEE Computer Society.[3] In mid-2013, a new updated version SWEBOK V3 was released.,[4] with comments for the final three knowledge areas were due on June 30, 2013.[5]

SWEBOK Version 3

As of December 2013, the public ballot version of the SWEBOK had the following 15 Knowledge Areas:

It also recognized, but did not define these related disciplines:

2004 Edition of the SWEBOK

As of the 2004 edition, the SWEBOK guide defines ten knowledge areas (KAs) within the field of software engineering:

The SWEBOK also defines disciplines related to software engineering:

Similar Efforts

Other similar efforts to define a body of knowledge for software engineering is the "Computing Curriculum Software Engineering (CCSE)", officially named Software Engineering 2004 (SE2004). The curriculum largely overlaps with the 2004 SWEBOK V2 because the SWEBOK has been used as one of its sources; however, it is more directed towards the academia. Whereas the SWEBOK defines the software engineering knowledge that practitioners should have after four years of practice, SE2004 defines the knowledge that an undergraduate software engineering student should possess upon graduation (including knowledge of mathematics, general engineering principles, and other related areas). SWEBOK version 3 aims to address these intersections.
