Speaking for Germany, an engineer will simply have a university degree. There is no additional exam. Similarly, most software developers will also have a university degree.
The term is actually regulated by law and it depends on the country and sometimes on the state. In Bavaria, for example, in order to call yourself a software engineer (or, for that matter, any kind of engineer), you need to have studied a STE(M) subject for at least three years, at a university or similar [0].
