In this book, the subject is developed from basics of components involved. Each concept is clearly depicted through illustrations. Programming has been carried out in C programming with Linux background. A set of quiz and review questions has been presented at the end of each chapter. The book covers various topics from the basic building blocks, design methodologies, modeling of embedded systems to layered approach in embedded systems, microcontrollers. The aim in writing this book is to make the readers aware of what an embedded system is all about, how it is constructed, challenges faced in this field and coding for it. The reader who is totally new to this subject can definitely opt for this book to get a feel for the subject.

SOFTWARE TESTING - a textbook which serves as a ready-reckoner, for software developers and practitioners. Software testing needs to provide an unbiased and independent view to allow entrepreneurs to understand the risks of software implementation. As an elective or complement to courses on software engineering and software project management, software testing plays an important role. The book is helpful for undergraduate and post graduate students majoring in computer science, computer applications, information technology or information science. KEY FEATURES: * Lucid presentation of the logical flow of the testing paradigm * Discusses software texting in the context of testing concepts, strategies, steps and tools * Emphasises on the cutting-edge area of agile testing * Points out the subtle difference between testing, quality assurance and quality control * Replete with case studies and illustrations from industry.

This book aims to answer a broad range of questions one may have about C. It focuses on objective type questions and provides extensive answers which will help those preparing for interviews, while mastering the concepts. This book also ensures that beginners do not have difficulty in getting used to the C concepts. The level of difficulty increases gradually, making the learning process a smoother one. The authors have made this publication more student-friendly by avoiding redundant words, materials, and dated models, while presenting detailed descriptions, providing fewer lists, and using bold print to call attention to important terms. This book specialises in assisting students and specialists getting ready for several Certification Exams and technical Interviews.

The book elaborates on the basics of procedure oriented programming and the fundamentals of writing C codes. The most noticeable feature of the book is the complete technical guide for IT interviews. It contains MCQs with 4 or 5 interesting options which prompts the candidate to think over a broad range of compilers. A brief and convincing answer for all the questions has been provided. It goes on to cover aspects like functions and loops, which will help novice programmers to code properly. Each topic is covered using tracing to explain how the particular coding construct and real-time programs work to help users understand how to implement theoretical concepts and obtain outputs to assure the validity of written programs. Elementary programming concepts like arrays, loops, assignment operators, functions, file processing, data structures, etc. have been discussed in the book. The structure of the book is organized in such a way that even a new candidate can easily follow the progress of concepts and master the language at a comparatively faster rate. This book will act as a placement assistant for new IT candidates in the technical round (C language).

SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT provides a coherent, comprehensive and concise coverage of the software project management, discipline and concepts. The first part focuses on the project management life cycle activities, which includes planning, evaluation, scheduling, resource allocation and monitoring with special emphasis on hands-on tools and techniques, models, methods, and documentation. A primer on the SDLC is also provided with the focus on various popular models and paradigms like waterfall and prototyping as well as new trends like agile methods. The second part of the book covers the entire gamut of umbrella activities like risk, cost, quality, configuration, contract, change and people management.
