Software Engineering: A Methodical Approach (Second Edition)
provides a comprehensive, but concise introduction to software
engineering. It adopts a methodical approach to solving software
engineering problems, proven over several years of teaching, with
outstanding results. The book covers concepts, principles, design,
construction, implementation, and management issues of software
engineering. Each chapter is organized systematically into brief,
reader-friendly sections, with itemization of the important points
to be remembered. Diagrams and illustrations also sum up the
salient points to enhance learning. Additionally, the book includes
the author's original methodologies that add clarity and creativity
to the software engineering experience. New in the Second Edition
are chapters on software engineering projects, management support
systems, software engineering frameworks and patterns as a
significant building block for the design and construction of
contemporary software systems, and emerging software engineering
frontiers. The text starts with an introduction of software
engineering and the role of the software engineer. The following
chapters examine in-depth software analysis, design, development,
implementation, and management. Covering object-oriented
methodologies and the principles of object-oriented information
engineering, the book reinforces an object-oriented approach to the
early phases of the software development life cycle. It covers
various diagramming techniques and emphasizes object classification
and object behavior. The text features comprehensive treatments of:
Project management aids that are commonly used in software
engineering An overview of the software design phase, including a
discussion of the software design process, design strategies,
architectural design, interface design, database design, and design
and development standards User interface design Operations design
Design considerations including system catalog, product
documentation, user message management, design for real-time
software, design for reuse, system security, and the agile effect
Human resource management from a software engineering perspective
Software economics Software implementation issues that range from
operating environments to the marketing of software Software
maintenance, legacy systems, and re-engineering This textbook can
be used as a one-semester or two-semester course in software
engineering, augmented with an appropriate CASE or RAD tool. It
emphasizes a practical, methodical approach to software
engineering, avoiding an overkill of theoretical calculations where
possible. The primary objective is to help students gain a solid
grasp of the activities in the software development life cycle to
be confident about taking on new software engineering projects.
