Features: This book focuses on the "engineering" concept, theory, and methods of software engineering, emphasizing the planning, scheduling, cost, evaluation, and maintenance of software engineering. Overall, it is divided into four parts:
Part 1 provides a general introduction to software engineering, including: basic concepts, methods, and theories of software engineering; research content of software engineering; models of software engineering methods; tools and environments of software engineering, etc.
Part 2 primarily introduces the structured software engineering method.
Part 3 primarily introduces the object-oriented software engineering method.
Part 4 covers advanced software engineering methods, including software engineering management, software engineering economics, software maintenance, as well as formal software engineering and UML—the Unified Modeling Language.
The book's features are "practical" and fully reflect engineering characteristics, introducing the latest concepts of software engineering, emphasizing the combination of theory and practice, and explaining methods with examples. The content is concise and easy to understand. This book can serve as a textbook for "Software Engineering" courses in computer science and technology programs and other related undergraduate majors, as well as a reference book or manual for computer software developers.
