Introduction

This unit covers the various software engineering practices and principles. In this unit, we will
read the core principles of software engineering, the planning practices, modeling practices,
analysis and design modeling practices and the software construction practices

7.1 The Essence of Practice

If you compare any two software projects (specifically comparing their codebases) you’ll often
see very different levels of maturity in the software engineering practices employed. By software
engineering practices, we specifically refer to the quality of the code and the amount of technical
debt present in the project.
