Software Engineering Body of Knowledge.
The software engineering body of knowledge is an all-inclusive term
that describes the sum of knowledge within the profession of
software engineering. Since it is usually not possible to put the full
body of knowledge of even an emerging discipline, such as software
engineering, into a single document, there is a need for a Guide t the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge. This Guide will seek to identify and describe that subset of the body of knowledge that is generally accepted, even though software engineers must be knowledgeable not only in software engineering, but also, of course, in other related disciplines.
