Software Engineering (Tutorial Guides in Electronic Engineering Series 17) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

The principal aim of this text is to teach practical software engineering skills so that the reader has sufficient depth of knowledge to produce real software systems. The book addresses all the activities of software engineering: system specification, system design, detail design, data design, programming, system and unit testing. The book begins by considering why good software is so difficult to produce and describes the main components of a software engineering approach. The remaining chapters are devoted to the essential activities associated with high-quality software engineering. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on ensuring that any software system meets the users' requirements, and that means testing. The student is taught to analyze the systems specification, to derive system and acceptance test plans, and to test thoroughly any procedures programmed from the system design. There is a case study in the final chapter in which the reader is taken through the specification, design and programming of a realistic software system.
