Software engineering is a cognitive reaction to the complexity of software
development. It reflects the inevitable need for analysis and planning;
reliability and control of risk; and scheduling and coordination when
embarking on any complex human endeavor. The planning and organized
effort required in developing software products is not unlike that required
in many other activities. As a very simple example, one could compare
developing a software product to starting on a journey—both begin with
preparation. For a journey, the first decision is to decide the destination.
Then, before the journey begins, plans are made so as to arrive at the
destination within a reasonable time and at an acceptable cost, with an
understanding of the length and constraints of the journey. In doing this,
one may evaluate alternative routes to the destination, consider environmental
conditions, identify and evaluate potential risks or dangers, and
so on.
