There exists a large number of research works analyzing questions and answers on the popular Stack Overflow website. However, other sub-sites of the Stack Exchange platform are studied rarely. In this paper, we analyze the questions and answers on the Software Engineering Stack Exchange site that encompasses a broader set of areas, such as testing or software processes. Topics and quantities of the questions, historical trends, and the authors' sentiment were analyzed using downloaded datasets. We found that the asked questions are most frequently related to database systems, quality assurance, and agile software development. The most attractive topics were career and teamwork problems, and the least attractive ones were network programming and software modeling. Historically, the topic of domain-driven design recorded the highest rise, and jobs and career the most significant fall. The number of new questions dropped, while the portion of unanswered ones increased.

翻译：已有大量研究工作分析了热门网站Stack Overflow上的问答内容，然而Stack Exchange平台的其他子网站却鲜少被研究。本文分析了软件工程Stack Exchange网站上的问答内容，该网站涵盖更广泛的领域，例如测试或软件流程。通过下载数据集，我们分析了问题的主题与数量、历史趋势及作者情感。研究发现，提问最频繁的主题涉及数据库系统、质量保障和敏捷软件开发。最吸引人的主题是职业与团队协作问题，而最不吸引人的主题是网络编程与软件建模。从历史趋势看，领域驱动设计主题增长最快，而工作与职业主题下降最显著。新问题数量有所下降，未回答问题的比例则有所上升。
