Forensic software engineering

Forensic software engineering is like being a detective but with computers. Just like how detectives search for clues at a crime scene, forensic software engineers search for clues in a computer system to figure out what happened. They use special tools and techniques to collect information from a computer system to help solve a crime, or to figure out what went wrong in a software project.

Imagine you have a toy car that is broken. You want to figure out what happened to it and how to fix it. First, you would look at the car and try to see if it is missing any pieces or if anything is broken. Just like that, forensic software engineers look at the code and data in a computer system to see if there are any problems or if anything is missing.

Then, you would take the car apart to see if you can find the problem. You might find that the wheels are loose, or the motor is not working. Forensic software engineers do the same thing with a computer system. They use special software tools to look at the code and data, and they might take the system apart to look inside and see what is going on.

Finally, you would fix the problem and put the car back together again. Forensic software engineers do the same thing by fixing the code or data that is causing the problem in the computer system.

So, forensic software engineering is all about finding out what happened in a computer system by using special tools and techniques, just like a detective trying to solve a crime.
