Fundamentals of Software Engineering - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate introductory software engineering courses found in Computer Science and Computer Engineering departments. This text provides selective, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of software engineering by stressing principles and methods through rigorous formal and informal approaches. The authors emphasize, identify, and apply fundamental principles that are applicable throughout the software lifecycle, in contrast to other texts which are based in the lifecycle model of software development. This emphasis enables students to respond to the rapid changes in technology that are common today.

Contraportada

The long-awaited second edition of Fundamentals of Software Engineering presents the fundamental principles of software engineering and illustrates the application of those principles in the different phases of software development. It stresses the importance of a rigorous approach to the practice of software engineering. Over 350 exercises are provided to aid in the comprehension of the material. Over 20 in-depth case studies show how to deal with the intricacies of real-world problems.

This second edition maintains the successful structure of the first edition and enhances the contents by adding treatment of recent developments in software engineering.

New coverage to this edition includes:

• More thorough treatment of object orientation
• Greater coverage of software architecture and components
• Introduction to modeling languages Z and UML
• Description and case study of requirements engineering
• New validation techniques, including model checking
• Quality improvement paradigms, including GQM and CMM
• More material on software processes, including the unified process
