Synopsis :

This book provides a general introduction to the essentials of the software development process, that series of activities that facilitate developing better software in less time. It starts with the basic aspects of software process which are the methods, tools and the concepts of the software life cycle. The second and third parts emphasize the engineering and management disciplines that are the core of any software engineering process. The fourth part, which is concerned with the quality aspects of software process, presents the aspects of process assessment and measurement. The last chapter introduces a software process metamodel, which is the theoretical foundation for any software process.

The approach is general, and the explanations are not tied to a particular commercial process. The book includes an ongoing case study example which does use the Unified Process for Education, which is derived from The Rational Unified Process. This book thus enables readers to gain experience with some of the basics of the Rational Unified Process―the industry's most powerful tool for incorporating the best practices into software development―and prepares them to work with any organization's software process.

The book includes a robust Website with all the sample deliverables and artifacts created from the case study, as well as chapter-by-chapter sections with further, up-to-date readings on process advancements, the PDF files for all the figures in the book, links to Software Engineering news sites, chapter by chapter information on commercial tools, industry standards, etc.

Quatrième de couverture:

Software Quality Assurance

From Theory to Implementation

Daniel Galin

Software quality assurance (SQA) is becoming increasingly important to the software and the electronics industries as software systems become more complex and integrative. This book is designed to serve the three audiences who will be facing the SQA challenge: students at universities and colleges, participants in vocational training courses and software development and maintenance practitioners/professionals.

The book is a product of the author�??s many years of consulting and teaching experience.

Features:

• A broad view of SQA. Discussion goes beyond classic custom-made software to include issues of in-house software development, outsourcing, and SQA in small organizations.
• Comprehensive discussion of practical issues. Stress is placed throughout on SQA application, operation, organization and control.
• Comprehensive coverage of SQA topics. Topics rarely covered in SQA texts are included: procedures and work instructions, supportive quality devices, costs of software quality and the actors participating in the SQA framework.
• State-of�??the-art topics. Automated testing, computerized SQA tools and international standards (e.g., ISO 9000-3) are among the topics covered.
• Pedagogical support. Each chapter includes summary frames, case studies, real-life examples and implementation tips, review questions and topics for discussion.
• On-line instructor�??s guide. The guide contains lesson planning guidelines, PowerPoint presentations and a test bank.
  

The book comprehensively covers the ISO 9000-3 requirements. It also provides a substantial portion of the body of knowledge required for the CSQE (Certified Software Quality Engineer) as outlined by the ASQ (American Society for Quality).

Dr Daniel Galin currently serves as Head of Information Systems Studies, the Ruppin Academic Center. In addition to his many papers, Dr Galin has also authored several books on the analysis and design of information systems as well as co-authoring (with Dr Z. Bluvband) a book on software quality assurance in Hebrew. His professional experience includes numerous consulting projects in software quality assurance and information systems design for major Israeli firms. He received his BSc, MSc and DSc from the Faculty of Industrial and Management Engineering of the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.
