Features: This book can serve as both an exam preparation guide for the National Higher Education Self-Tuition Examination in Computer and Application (Bachelor's Degree) and as supplementary material for students in computer and non-computer majors at ordinary universities studying software engineering. The book is organized according to the examination syllabus for the Computer and Application (Bachelor's Degree) program developed by the National Higher Education Self-Tuition Examination Guidance Committee. Its depth and breadth align with the requirements of the "Software Engineering" textbook and syllabus. The book covers 13 chapters, including fundamental knowledge of software engineering, software feasibility study and project development planning, software requirements analysis, software conceptual design, software detailed design, software coding, software testing, software maintenance, incremental models for software development, object-oriented methods, software quality and quality assurance, software engineering management, and software development environments. It outlines relevant assessment points in the order of textbook chapters. Combining the four cognitive levels—memorization, comprehension, simple application, and comprehensive application—as stipulated in the examination syllabus, the book explains and analyzes the key and challenging aspects of each chapter. Based on a thorough study, analysis, and years of teaching experience regarding the characteristics of self-tuition exams, exam preparation points, examination patterns, past papers, examination syllabi, designated textbooks, and the situation of self-tuition candidates, the book includes a selection of practice questions with reference answers. This is designed to help students flexibly learn and consolidate software engineering knowledge, quickly master exam-taking skills, and improve their exam performance without getting overwhelmed by a sea of practice questions. At the end of the book, four sets of mock exams and answers are provided to offer necessary reference and insights for exam preparation.
