Software Construction → Software construction –

It's a discipline. Per WP:CAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. $Tony (talk)$ 07:28, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for mentioning this guideline which I did not know about. I totally agree with you. Knowledge Examiner (talk) 14:08, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you wrote the article, you also need to know about our WP:MOS and esp. our style for headings WP:HEADINGS): sentence case, not title case. Please go through and fix the headings, and the moved article title will look more right; also no need to capitalize software engineering, software design, etc. Dicklyon (talk) 06:47, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the capitalization to be consistent with WP:MOS and scheduled the article Software construction for speedy deletion in preparation for moving this article. Please tell me about any other required changes and thank you for your help in improving the article. Knowledge Examiner (talk) 05:48, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Scope of software construction[edit]

In the box on the right, Construction is shown as distinct from Testing and Debugging. But in the lead section, debugging and some testing activities are described as part of the construction activity. Can we untangle this? Faught (talk) 16:58, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Faught Construction is a «phase» that involves these activities. But testing is a «phase» that is dedicated only to test. For testing and debugging, please read the article Software release life cycle. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 09:26, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
