• 10 topics every software engineers should know

2
Every software engineer should possess some
basic qualities. Some firms demand qualifications
according to their needs, but some common topics
should be familiar for every software engineer.
Here we point 10 topics which every software
engineer should be familiar with.

1. Data formations algorithms
Basic data structures like array, list,
stack, tree, map, set etc. and useful algorithms
are vital for software development. Their logical
structure should be known.
4
2. UML Notation
UML is the general and absolute language for
software design scrutiny. If there is a
deficient of UML in a development procedure,
there is no engineering.

3. Software procedures metrics
Software engineering is not a simple process.
It demands a sophisticated level of orderly
performances. Therefore, procedures and metrics
are essential.

4. Design patterns
Design patterns are typical and on the whole
effective resolutions for precise issues. If you
don't want to reinvent the wheel, you should
learn them.

5. OS basics
Getting familiar with OS basics is very
vital, since all applications operate on it. By
learning it, we can have better foresight,
perspective and functioning of the
applications.

6. Computer basics
Every application needs a hardware for the
physical interface. Subsequently, getting
familiar with computer organization basics is
very important for better foresight, perspective
and functioning..

7. Network basics
The network is related to computer
organization, OS and the complete data transfer
process. In any situation, you will confront it
while software development. Subsequently, it is
important to get familiar with network
basics.

8. Software testing
Testing is another vital fragment of
software engineering. Unit testing, its best
practices and techniques like black box, white
box, mocking, TDD, integration testing etc. are
topics which every software engineers must be
familiar with.

9. Object relational mapping
Object relational Mapping and its widely
accepted and used implementation Hibernate
framework is a significant method for mapping
objects into database tables. It reduces the code
length and maintenance time.
12
10. Clean code
Effective code is not enough, it must be
clear, legible and maintainable too. So, code
formatting and readable code development
techniques are needed to be known and
applied.
