The pervasive nature of computers in every aspect of society has been noticed by the legal system.
Forensic engineering refers to engineering services associated with the legal system.
Forensics as applied to software engineering, has two meanings. The first is the engineering support provided to the legal system, usually as an expert witness in litigation. The role of the software engineering forensics expert, the implications for developers, and a proposed means for survival in a litigation-intensive computer world constitute the core issues.
