The
Software Engineering Body of Knowledge
(
SWEBOK
(
SWEE
-bok
)) refers to the collective knowledge, skills, techniques, methodologies, best practices, and experiences accumulated within the field of
software engineering
over time. A baseline for this body of knowledge is presented in the
Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge
,
[1]
also known as the
SWEBOK Guide
, an
ISO
/
IEC
standard originally recognized as ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005
[2]
and later revised by ISO/IEC TR 19759:2015.

The
SWEBOK Guide
serves as a compendium and guide to the body of knowledge that has been developing and evolving over the past decades.
The
SWEBOK Guide
has been created through cooperation among several professional bodies and members of industry and is published by the
IEEE Computer Society
(
IEEE
),
[4]
from which it can be accessed for free. In late 2013,
SWEBOK V3
was approved for publication and released.
[5]
In 2016, the IEEE Computer Society kicked off the SWEBOK Evolution effort to develop future iterations of the body of knowledge.

SWEBOK Version 3

The published version of
SWEBOK V3
has the following 15
knowledge areas
(KAs) within the field of
software engineering
:
It also recognized, but did not define, these related disciplines:

The 2004 edition of the
SWEBOK Guide
, known as
SWEBOK 2004
, defined ten
knowledge areas
(KAs) within the field of
software engineering
:
The following disciplines are also defined as being related to software engineering:
Similar efforts

A similar effort 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
SWEBOK 2004
since the latter has been used as one of its sources, although it is more directed towards academia. Whereas the
SWEBOK Guide
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 V3
aims to address these intersections.
