Thanks for the reply but I am confused that my duties are the mixture of both software engineering (2173) and Development (2174). What should I do in that case ?

Hi Bellaluna,

I am into software development industry. Plz advice which is the right NOC code for me. I am really confused as it matches a little with a few NOC code, but does not match perfectly or highly with any once NOC code.

Following are my duties:

1. Business requirement elicitation through workshops and frequent discussions with customers.
2. Documenting system requirements into Use Cases, User Stories and Business Data Definitions.
3. Assist software architect team in preparing software design document.
4. Create Business Process Models for the software application.
5. Estimating size and effort of the user stories/ software application through function point calculations.
6. Create product backlog to prioritize and plan the application features for development ·
7. Perform system functional testing, integration testing and user acceptance testing.
8. Create simulations and concept documents for the end user of the software application.


I am not writing here the NOC codes I am confused between, to get an unbiased view.

Your roles and duties are clearly 2174. The reason is, if you read the NOC 2173 for software engineering very carefully, you will see that 2173 never actually does coding, write code, or develop. In a nutshell Software Engineer does analysis, design, model, plan and coordinate the development. But never actually does the development. 2174 is the NOC for the coder. So if you write code you are a developer, ie. 2174.
