The diary-based thesis explains, observes, and analyses the everyday responsibilities of a software engineer employed by a multinational software company. The thesis covers daily observation and weekly analysis entries covering eight weeks of work from September 11, 2023, to November 10, 2023. The entries include the everyday activities of a software engineer and a reflection on challenges and knowledge gained throughout the course of work.
The introduction provides an overview of the author's background and role, the purpose and extent of the thesis, the diary's methodology and resources, and the thesis's practical and ethical considerations. The chapter also outlines the primary competencies and areas of improvement for the author over the course of the eight weeks.
More information on the author's initial situations as a software engineer is provided in the description of the initial situation chapter. The chapter covers the current work and skills of the author, the stakeholders and interaction situations that the author faces, and the areas and skills that the author wants to develop for the future. The chapter gives a thorough summary of the author's experience and qualifications as a software engineer, as well as the background and environment in which the author works.
The diary part of the thesis records the daily tasks that the author performs as a software engineer. It also analyses the tasks every week to identify the challenges, learnings, and improvements that the author experiences during the eight-week period. The diary part provides a detailed and reflective account of the author's work and skills as a software engineer.
This discussion chapter describes the growth and accomplishments of the author as a software engineer throughout the eight-week observation period. The chapter compares the initial situation with the insights gained from the diary entries, highlighting the areas and skills that the author improved, the particular approaches and methodologies discovered, and the challenges and learnings that the author encountered. The chapter covers the technical and non-technical aspects of software engineering and concludes with the author's plans for continuous learning and improvement in the field of software engineering.
This thesis might be useful for anyone who is interested in learning more about the everyday tasks, responsibilities, and challenges of a software engineer in a multinational software company. The thesis might be useful for aspiring or current software engineers who want to improve their professional performance and development, as well as for researchers or educators who want to understand the real-life aspects of software engineering.
