הנדסת תוכנה (באנגלית: Software Engineering) היא ענף של הנדסה העוסק בפיתוח תוכנה.
הנדסת תוכנה מיישמת גישה שיטתית, מבוקרת ומדידה לפיתוח, תפעול ותחזוקה של תוכנה.[1] הנדסת תוכנה מקיפה את מחזור החיים השלם של תוכנה, וכוללת ידע, שיטות וכלים עבור דרישות תוכנה, תכנון תוכנה, בניית תוכנה, בדיקות תוכנה, תחזוקת תוכנה, ניהול תצורת תוכנה ואיכות תוכנה.[2] הנדסת תוכנה נועדה להפחית את המורכבות שבפיתוח תוכנה, לשפר את אמינות התוכנה המפותחת, ולהקטין את עלויות התפעול והתחזוקה. מאפיין בולט של הנדסת התוכנה הוא פיתוח מערכות מורכבות הכוללות חומרה, תוכנה ותקשורת.
הנדסת תוכנה החלה להתגבש כתחום ייחודי בשנות ה-60 המאוחרות, על רקע משבר התוכנה. עד אותה עת נחשבה הנדסת התוכנה לענף משני של מדעי המחשב. כנס ראשון להנדסת תוכנה נערך בשנת 1968 על ידי ועדת המדע של נאט"ו,[3] וציין את תחילת דרכו של הענף כתחום נפרד ועצמאי. עם החלוצים בתחום נמנים פרד ברוקס, בארי בם, טוני הור ודייוויד פרנס. גרסה ראשונה של גוף הידע הרשמי של המקצוע הושלמה בשנת 1999, ובאותה השנה הוענק לפרד ברוקס פרס טיורינג על "תרומותיו פורצות הדרך בהנדסת מחשבים, מערכות הפעלה והנדסת תוכנה",[4] ושני האירועים נחשבים לאבני דרך חשובות בהתפתחות הענף. בארצות הברית, מסלול לימודים אקדמי להנדסת תוכנה (BSc) נפתח לראשונה בשנת 1996, ומסלול דומה מוצע גם בישראל. עם זאת, נכון לשנת 2006, לרוב העוסקים בתחום יש הכשרה אקדמית במדעי המחשב ולא בהנדסת תוכנה.[5]
יסודותיה התאורטיים של הנדסת התוכנה לקוחים ממדעי המחשב, ובצד המעשי היא חולקת עקרונות ושיטות עם הנדסת מחשבים, הנדסת מערכות, הבטחת איכות, הנדסת אנוש וניהול פרויקטים. בניגוד חד לדיסציפלנות ההנדסה האחרות, שיטותיה של הנדסת התוכנה בפתח המאה ה-21 אינן מבטיחות כי תוצריה יהיו עקביים, אמינים או שימושיים.[6] יתר על כן, שיטותיה אינן אחידות, אינן מוסְדרות, ורובן המכריע מבוסס על כללי אצבע ונעדר תשתית מתמטית איתנה. בשל כך, ובשל היבטים נוספים של הנדסת תוכנה, שאלת סיווגה כענף של ההנדסה, המדע או האמנות תלויה ועומדת, וכן שוררת אי-הסכמה באשר לנכונותן או נחיצותן של רבות מהפרדיגמות והשיטות המשמשות בה.

דארווין[עריכת קוד מקור | עריכה]
Charles Robert Darwin, FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist.[I] He established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors,[7] and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection.[8]
Darwin published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species, overcoming scientific rejection of earlier concepts of transmutation of species.[9][10] By the 1870s the scientific community and much of the general public had accepted evolution as a fact. However, many favoured competing explanations and it was not until the emergence of the modern evolutionary synthesis from the 1930s to the 1950s that a broad consensus developed in which natural selection was the basic mechanism of evolution.[11][12] In modified form, Darwin's scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, explaining the diversity of life.[13][14]
Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh; instead, he helped to investigate marine invertebrates. Studies at the University of Cambridge encouraged his passion for natural science.[15] His five-year voyage on תבנית:HMS established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author.[16]
Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin began detailed investigations and in 1838 conceived his theory of natural selection.[17] Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had priority.[18] He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay which described the same idea, prompting immediate joint publication of both of their theories.[19]> Darwin's work established evolutionary descent with modification as the dominant scientific explanation of diversification in nature.[11] In 1871 he examined human evolution and sexual selection in The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, followed by The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. His research on plants was published in a series of books, and in his final book, he examined earthworms and their effect on soil.[20]

Notes[עריכת קוד מקור | עריכה]
VI. ^ Darwin did not share the then common view that other races are inferior, and said of his taxidermy tutor John Edmonstone, a freed black slave, "I used often to sit with him, for he was a very pleasant and intelligent man".<ref name=eddy/>
Early in the Beagle voyage he nearly lost his position on the ship when he criticised FitzRoy's defence and praise of slavery. (Darwin 1958, p. 74) He wrote home about "how steadily the general feeling, as shown at elections, has been rising against Slavery. What a proud thing for England if she is the first European nation which utterly abolishes it! I was told before leaving England that after living in slave countries all my opinions would be altered; the only alteration I am aware of is forming a much higher estimate of the negro character." (Darwin 1887, p. 246) Regarding Fuegians, he "could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilized man: it is greater than between a wild and domesticated animal, inasmuch as in man there is a greater power of improvement", but he knew and liked civilised Fuegians like Jemmy Button: "It seems yet wonderful to me, when I think over all his many good qualities, that he should have been of the same race, and doubtless partaken of the same character, with the miserable, degraded savages whom we first met here."(Darwin 1845, pp. 205, 207–208)
In the Descent of Man he mentioned the Fuegians and Edmonstone when arguing against "ranking the so-called races of man as distinct species".[21]
He rejected the ill-treatment of native people, and for example wrote of massacres of Patagonian men, women, and children, "Every one here is fully convinced that this is the most just war, because it is against barbarians. Who would believe in this age that such atrocities could be committed in a Christian civilized country?"(Darwin 1845, p. 102)

In The Origin, Darwin provided an alternative hypothesis for the development, diversification, and design of life. Much of that book presents evidence that not only supports evolution but at the same time refutes creationism. In Darwin's day, the evidence for his theories was compelling but not completely decisive.
