Features: Just like all meta-disciplines, software engineering must rely closely on the practice of software development, constantly researching the conditions for the effectiveness and rationality of the tools it proposes. It must be particularly wary of outdated models and things that violate principles, often hiding logical flaws, otherwise it will achieve nothing. Overall, the production of information systems is very complex, and software engineering is a science aimed at this production. This "meta-discipline" establishes the rules and boundaries necessary to ensure the normal operation of the software production process. Therefore, it must be grounded in the practice of software development and always research the effectiveness and rationality of the tools it proposes. This book comprehensively introduces the economic and technical data of software development, enabling readers to better understand the true challenges faced by software engineering: to ensure that the information systems around us always serve us. This book is suitable for a broad readership interested in software development.
