Software Engineering (Hardcover)

Written to give an introductory survey of software engineering at the undergraduate level, this exciting new text covers the real-life problems, methods, techniques and tools of software development. This volume concentrates on well-defined methodology rather than intuitive notions; provides comparisons of competing methodologies and models of software development; includes a running case study which illustrates the entire software development life cycle and gives students a significant and tangible model to aid in understanding the theory; and gives considerable attention to many unique contemporary topics.
