Abstract
The evolution of software engineering has been continuous over the past thirty years. Some major technological discontinuities, however, can be identified in this progress, which caused a more radical rethinking of the previous established approaches. This, in turn, generated research for new methods, techniques and tools to properly deal with the new challenges. This paper tries to identify some of these major evolutionary steps from a historical viewpoint, with the goal of understanding if common treats can be found to characterize them.
