Concise Guide to Software Engineering: From Fundamentals to Application Methods (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science) by Gerard O’Regan (PDF)

Description

This essential textbook presents a concise introduction to the fundamental principles of software engineering, together with practical guidance on how to apply the theory in a real-world, industrial environment. The wide-ranging coverage encompasses all areas of software design, management, and quality.Topics and features: presents a broad overview of software engineering, including software lifecycles and phases in software development, and project management for software engineering; examines the areas of requirements engineering, software configuration management, software inspections, software testing, software quality assurance, and process quality; covers topics on software metrics and problem solving, software reliability and dependability, and software design and development, including Agile approaches; explains formal methods, a set of mathematical techniques to specify and derive a program from its specification, introducing the Z specification language; discusses software process improvement, describing the CMMI model, and introduces UML, a visual modelling language for software systems; reviews a range of tools to support various activities in software engineering, and offers advice on the selection and management of a software supplier; describes such innovations in the field of software as distributed systems, service-oriented architecture, software as a service, cloud computing, and embedded systems; includes key learning topics, summaries and review questions in each chapter, together with a useful glossary.This practical and easy-to-follow textbook/reference is ideal for computer science students seeking to learn how to build high quality and reliable software on time and on budget. The text also serves as a self-study primer for software engineers, quality professionals, and software managers.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “O’Regan’s Concise Guide to Software Engineering is indeed a succinct introduction to the principles of software engineering. The work contains 20 chapters that cover a range of key topics related to software, such as project management, design and development, testing, quality assurance, metrics and problem solving, process improvement, software engineering tools, and agile methodology. … Pressman’s book can be used at the undergraduate level … . Summing Up: Recommended. With the caveats above. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (C.
