ABSTRACT

Software engineering is a detailed study of engineering to the design, development and

maintenance of software. Software engineering generally begins with the first step as a user-
request initiation for a specific task or an output. He submits his requirement to a service
provider organization. The software development team segregates user requirement, system
requirement and functional requirements. It is fundamentally collaborative yet in regards to
equipment, the tools designed for software engineering are mostly for single users. Given the
availability of powerful desktop workstations and recent advances in distributed computing
technology, it is now possible to approach the challenges of CSE from a new perspective.
Essentially, CSCW goes beyond building technology itself and looks at how people work within
groups and organizations and the impacts of technology on those processes. CSCW has
ushered in a great extent of melding between social scientists and technologists as developers
work together to overcome both technical and non-technical problems within the same user
spaces. The goal of the study is to have development in the support for CSE and the further
innovation of CSCW technology and for the awareness, adaptability and growth of the people
who use it and in the office space. The study enlightens us on how computer software
engineering moves forward with innovation and introduces new collaborative technology. The
importance of the design aspects of these CSE tools are discussed along with how computer
software engineering approaches the issues faced. Given the CAISE infrastructure, we are able
to visualize the aspects of collaborative work within software engineering and explore new feats
allowing the perceived benefits of CSE to be fully realized.
