Features: The second and editions of this book、. To adapt to the rapid rise of object-oriented technology, the author summarized five years of teaching and research experience, adjusted and revised the original content, with changes exceeding 50%, resulting in the third edition. The book comprehensively and systematically introduces the concepts, principles, and typical technical methods of software engineering. The features of this book are its emphasis on both systematicity and scientificity, as well as practicality. It includes both theoretical discussions and abundant examples for illustration. Especially helpful for readers in deepening their understanding of software engineering are the two appendices at the end of the main text, which describe the processes of developing two example software using object-oriented and structured methods, respectively. These are also excellent materials for hands-on practice. The main text of the book consists of 13 chapters. The first chapter is an overview, chapters 2 to 8 sequentially describe the tasks, processes, structured methods, and tools of each stage of the software life cycle, while chapters 9 to 12 respectively introduce the introduction to object-oriented methodology, object-oriented analysis, object-oriented design, and object-oriented implementation. The 13th chapter introduces the management techniques used in software engineering. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for "Software Engineering" courses in higher education institutions, or as a reading and reference material for software professionals with practical experience and a broad range of computer users who need to develop application software.
