This paper highlights the role of the inductive inference principle in software engineering. It takes the challenge to settle difierences and to confront the ideas behind the usual software engineering concepts. We focus on the inductive inference mechanism's role behind the automatic program construction activities and software evolution. We believe that the revision of rather ln old ideas in the new context of software engineering could enhance our endeavour and that is why deserves more attention.
