Product Description
Book Description
Software engineering is going through an identity crisis leaving many to wonder where, how, and if its previous principles still apply. A major difficulty of the available software engineering literature is that knowledge appears in many forms and sources without a specific framework of guidelines on how to apply it to changing situations. The goal of this new text is to resolve this problem by providing a considerable and useful proportion of software engineering technical knowledge. This second edition updates the material in the first edition of Software Engineering, 1996, with two comprehensive volumes containing specially selected and newly authored papers that sufficiently cover the process of software engineering. Volume 1, the development process, covers the activities and tasks of the developer including requirements analysis, design, coding, integration, testing, and installation and acceptance related to software products. This new tutorial's chapters cover seven development processes: system requirements analysis and design, software requirements analysis and design, software architectural design, implementation (coding), and testing plus maintenance. The book's structure prepares individuals to take the IEEE Computer Society Certified Software Development Professional examination. Each chapter begins with an introduction that establishes the subject, supporting papers, and standards. The backbone for this publication is IEEE/EIA Standard 12207-1997, Standard for Information Technology - Software Life Cycle Processes.

Required for any Software Engineering pursuing CSDP,
By
This review is from: Software Engineering, Volume 1, The Development Process, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I agree with other reviewers on editing problems. However these books (vol I and II) offer a strong support to Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) and are a required reading for those pursuing IEEE Certificate Software Development Professional (CSDP). I used it along with other materials in my preparation for CSDP exam and PASSED.Bottom line: A good compilation of software engineering readings supporting SWEBOK worthy of some room in software development professional bookshelf.

This review is from: Software Engineering, Volume 1, The Development Process, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
If you can get past the terrible editing in chapter 1 it might be an OK reprint of articles on software engineering.Chapter 1 was very frustrating because of the blatant bad editing. If they were errors in content then they might be due to my misunderstanding, but these are blatant errors and are definitely the fault of bad proofreading/editing. Example: When someone enumerates 4 points as (1),(2),(2) and (4) it is not my imagination. Chapter 1 is intended for a software engineering manager. Chapter 2 is the obvious part of engineering ethics, concluding with a reprint of the IEEE code of ethics. Chapter 3 defines the system engineering level, at length. Chapter 4 is the importance of requirements engineering. Chapter 5 is Software design, 6 is overviews of development strategies, 7 is coding and unit testing, Chapter 8 is testing and integration, 9 is on maintenance. Most of the articles are reprints of previously published articles (I even recognize the badly reprinted werewolf pictures from "No Silver Bullet" in Chapter 2 that were previously printed in an IEEE magazine I used to have). Production values are unacceptable! The digital, on demand printing method used results in inferior print quality. Some pages look like they were running a little low on ink, some seem to have a little too much ink, some graphics with thin lines have breaks in them due to rasterization. Some gray scale to hatching results in a cheap appearance. Did I make it clear enough that Chapter 1 has blatant editing errors that make me distrust the content? Given the above problems it is also overpriced in my opinion. This refers to 2nd edition. OK, this was published by the IEEE. We're Engineers, I don't expect us to be best-selling writers; I do expect us to be able to hire a proofreader and a printer.
