Abstract

Digital transformation is a hot topic in the current global environment as a large number of organizations have been working to adopt digital solutions. Software engineering has also emerged to be a more important role as a large number of systems, either traditional or smart, are dependent on the software that collects, store, and process data. The role of software engineers has also become crucial in digital transformation. In this regard, this paper aims to examine the trends of software engineering and the role of software engineers in digital transformation. In addition to this, this paper also examines the importance of secure software development in digital transformation. It can be concluded that software engineering is an integral part of digital transformation as all digital systems make use of software to perform their functions efficiently. Software act as a bridge between digital systems and humans to use the systems interactively and efficiently.
