Software Engineers, also sometimes called Software Developers, work closely with clients to plan and create software systems. They are therefore expected to have strong programming skills to enable them to properly communicate user requirements with Programmers, develop algorithms, analyse and solve programming issues. Unlike Programmers, they are not directly concerned with the actual writing of codes. They are instead focused primarily on assessing, defining, and addressing the needs of the users all throughout the applications or systems development process. They are responsible for testing the quality of programs developed and maintaining software systems to ensure their reliability and efficiency.
Software Engineers are also known as Software Designer or Software Architect. Associated with any of those job titles are the primary duties revolving around the design, development, modification, documentation, testing, implementation, installation, and support of software applications and systems that can facilitate more efficient work for their end users. They are also responsible for application and/or systems upgrade as well as fixing them when necessary. Other related, yet more specialised occupations include Database Designer, Computer Applications Engineer, Systems Architect.
