Software Engineering (Applied College Mathematics Series)

The second edition of Software Engineering is a broad-based yet detailed text that stresses and carefully considers each phase of the software engineering process. It provides excellent examples, outstanding illustrations, and an extensive list of current references. Modern topics are covered, including the object-oriented approach, the Spiral Model, and the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) . The text emphasizes the importance of maintenance, testing, documentation, reuse, analysis and comparison of competing techniques, and how the results of experiments in software engineering can assist in selecting appropriate techniques. Largely language-independent, the book makes use of C/C++ where appropriate. Extensive problem sets and a classroom-tested practical software term project are also featured. An instructor's manual that contains solutions to every problem in the text (including the term project) , teaching hints for using the book, and transparency masters for all figures.New Topics in the Second EditionSpiral ModelJoint Application Design (JAD) The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Formal Specification Language Z
