Introduction to Software Engineering, Second Edition equips readers with the fundamentals to prepare them for satisfying careers as software engineers regardless of future changes in the field, even if the changes are unpredictable or disruptive in nature. Retaining the same organization as its predecessor, this second edition adds considerable material on open source and agile development models.

Engineering

The text helps readers understand software development techniques and processes at a

reasonably sophisticated level. Readers acquire practical experience through team software projects. Throughout much of the book, a relatively large project is used to teach about the requirements, design, and coding of software. In addition, a continuing case study of an ag-e Engineering

Second Edition

ile software development project offers a complete picture of how a successful agile project can work.

The book covers each major phase of the software development life cycle, from developing software requirements to software maintenance. It also discusses project management and explains how to read software engineering literature. Three appendices describe software patents, command-line arguments, and flowcharts.

Features

Gives readers the option of choosing which software development life cycle model to Ronald J. Leach

focus on, including the classical waterfall model, rapid prototyping model, spiral model, open source model, or agile method

Second Edition

Uses many examples that illustrate the successes and pitfalls of software projects

Encourages the reuse of existing software components in a systematic way

Discusses the typical viewpoints of software managers on relevant technical activities, giving readers additional perspectives on software engineering

Presents state-of-the-art information on important software engineering trends

Provides the basis for team software projects

Includes a case study of an actual complex project created using an agile development process

This series covers all aspects of software engineering and software development. Books in the series will be innovative reference books, research monographs, and textbooks at the undergraduate and graduate level. Coverage will include traditional subject matter, cutting-edge research, and current industry practice, such as agile software development methods and service-oriented architectures. We also welcome proposals for books that

capture the latest results on the domains and conditions in which practices are most effective.
