Description
This text teaches students basic software engineering skills and helps practitioners refresh their knowledge and explore recent developments in the field, including software changes and iterative processes of software development. The book discusses the software change and its phases, including concept location, impact analysis, refactoring, actualization, and verification. It then covers the most common iterative processes: agile, directed, and centralized processes. The text also journeys through the initial development of software from scratch to the final stages that lead toward software closedown.
Reviews / Votes
"... a great read ... this [is] an entirely different approach to teaching software engineering and it could really help students (and practitioners) understand recent advances in software engineering and become better software engineers. ... this book explains software engineering not from a constructionist point of view, but from a change/maintenance perspective, meaning most of the time you need to read/analyze programs rather than write them (though there is plenty of material in the book to support green field development)."-Will Tracz, ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, November 2013
