This textbook provides an introduction to software engineering for undergraduate students of computer science. Its emphasis is on a case study approach in which a project is developed through the course of the book illustrating the different activities of software development. The sequence of chapters is essentially the same as the sequence of activities performed during a typical software project. All activities, including quality assurance and control activities, are described in each chapter as integral activities for that phase of the development process. Similarly, the author carefully introduces appropriate metrics for controlling and assessing the software process. This book is intended for students who have had no previous training in software engineering and is suitable for a one semester course. In this new edition two trends are clearly highlighted: software processes and object orientation. From reviews of the first edition "I can recommend this book for classroom adoption or individual study..." Computing Reviews "Overall, the book is very readable and exceptionally well organized ... exposes the reader to many current sophistictaed formal and quantitative methods." American Scientist
A bit weak on pragmatic advice
| Customer Rating: | | I recall reading a book very similar to this in a senior level class I took about 4 years ago when I was getting my undergrad degree in computer science. I have to say that although it offers a good overview of how to develop software, it really shows the disconnect between what academics would like to see and how software development really works. In particular, the reader can feel free to skip any sections on metrics that deal with lines of code or function points-the metrics are not representative of any actual program, regardless of what they deal with: estimation, productivity, etc. The sections of the book that dealt with how to capture and analyze requirements were also fairly weak; most of the techniques they describe do not translate well to the real world. Unfortunately I can't recommend a better book for these as I have not found one yet. |
A good book
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book for an undergraduate course in software engineering. I found it helped me well in the course since it was easily readable and pretty straightforward in its explanations. The content is a breather from the regular logic applications from the rest of Computer Science classes, but I guess that's ok since it's focus is on the process of software development. |
GOOD STUDENT BOOK
