What is a difference between product and process in software engineering?
The product is something tangible that you get after going through a process. After doing some systems analysis work, the analyst will write a report. Doing the analysis is a process and the report is a product of that phase. Each product can be used as part of carrying out the next process. The analyst’s report could be used as part of the design process. The resulting design, which is a product, is then used in writing the programs, which is another process.
