A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a valuepack for Software Engineering undergraduate courses. 

Fundamentals of Software Engineering: International Edition, 2/Eis Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate introductory software engineering courses found in Computer Science and Computer Engineering departments.

This text provides selective, in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of software engineering by stressing principles and methods through rigorous formal and informal approaches. The authors emphasize, identify, and apply fundamental principles that are applicable throughout the software lifecycle, in contrast to other texts which are based in the lifecycle model of software development. This emphasis enables students to respond to the rapid changes in technology that are common today. 

Also included is How to Break Softwarewhich takes a very applied and non-rigid approach to teaching how to test software for common bugs. It is a departure from conventional testing in which testers prepare a written test plan and then use it as a script when testing the software. Instead of relying on a rigid plan, it should be intelligence, insight, experience and a “nose for where the bugs are hiding” that guide testers. This book helps testers develop this insight.

The techniques presented in this book not only allow testers to go off-script, they encourage them to do so. Don't blindly follow a document that may be out of date and that was written before the product was even testable. Instead, use your head! Open your eyes! Think a little, test a little and then think a little more.

Quatrième de couverture

The long-awaited second edition of Fundamentals of Software Engineering presents the fundamental principles of software engineering and illustrates the application of those principles in the different phases of software development. It stresses the importance of a rigorous approach to the practice of software engineering. Over 350 exercises are provided to aid in the comprehension of the material. Over 20 in-depth case studies show how to deal with the intricacies of real-world problems.

This second edition maintains the successful structure of the first edition and enhances the contents by adding treatment of recent developments in software engineering.

New coverage to this edition includes:

• More thorough treatment of object orientation
• Greater coverage of software architecture and components
• Introduction to modeling languages Z and UML
• Description and case study of requirements engineering
• New validation techniques, including model checking
• Quality improvement paradigms, including GQM and CMM
• More material on software processes, including the unified process
• Several new case studies on process, requirements, design, organization, and systems engineering
• A comprehensive supplement package, including an Instructor's Resource CD and a Companion Website.
