This text 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 a number of the author’s original methodologies that add clarity and
creativity to the software engineering experience, while making a novel contribution
to the discipline.
New in the second edition are the following: additional clarifications to various
concepts covered in the first edition; revised and new illustrations all in color; seven
new chapters (4, 5, 9, 17, 24, 25, and 26) covering various methodologies for software
modeling and design, management support systems, software engineering frameworks,
and new frontiers in software engineering.
