Abstract: Software Engineering has grown and developed from the 1960’s till now a lot as our knowledge and understanding of software is increasing day-by-day due to which software is becoming increasingly reliable and cost effective. Previous research was not able to express clearly how software engineering transitioned, how new technologies and services for software came to be known and were started using in the world of software engineering, decade or year wise. I use data from different websites and research papers to tell how software engineering has evolved along with the years with details about what happened in particular years, with respect to the corresponding decades. There are also details about manifestos and the developers of computer languages. The findings indicate that the software engineering field is vast and is still far from being fully developed, in a world where we have hands on every technology possible and hence new software’s and services are coming out on a regular basis now.
