Fast changing technologies, rapid software development, and increasing demand for software have brought significant attention to software engineering. This book presents concepts and practices of software engineering as applicable to the software industry. It will acquaint students with the basic and advanced concepts of software engineering, along with the tools and techniques used in the various phases of software development. Software engineering has several activities which are presented in the sequence they are applied in the development of a software project. The emerging concepts of software engineering are also incorporated. Concepts are explained using illustrative examples and case studies. Each chapter showcases sufficient number of review questions and multiple-choice questions for analysing the understanding of concepts. This book is suitable for software engineering courses at, both, graduate and postgraduate levels.

  • Written in a lucid and easy-to-understand language
  • Covers the software development process models including traditional, iterative, and agile software development
  • Detailed treatment of important topics such as software project management, project planning, and estimation activities
  • Discusses software engineering phases with new concepts such as formal methods, software architecture, refactoring, TDD, program slicing, and software aging
  • Emphasizes object-oriented analysis and design using UML and object-oriented metrics
  • Introduces user interface design, CASE tools, and quality models (such as SEI-CMM, ISO, Six Sigma, and TQM)
  • Includes a new chapter, Emerging Software Engineering, which focuses on the latest trends and advanced techniques in the field of software engineering
  • Illustrates concepts with practical examples, which guide students on how to apply these concepts in real-life projects
  • Includes a large pool of the analytical, theoretical, and multiple-choice questions, which facilitate the understanding of the subject
  • Includes a large number of MCQs, analytical and theoretical questions, and projects
  • Includes a licence key for our learning app, Cengage Digital App, that provides access to Flashcards, Self-assessments, and Concept Maps.
