Reviews
Charles N. Schroeder
This interesting and well-written book fits nicely among the many recent publications in the general area of software engineering. It is a direct competitor with Roger Pressman's well-known text, Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach. The layout of the book is good, examples are interesting, and the content is appropriate. The book is written so that there is little emphasis on specific methods and tools, yet a broad perspective of software engineering as it exists today is covered. Many of the chapters from the previous edition have been enhanced and restructured. The major parts and chapters in the book are: Part 1: Overview Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Computer-based system engineering Chapter 3: Software processes Chapter 4: Project management Part 2: Requirements Chapter 5: Software requirements Chapter 6: Requirements engineering processes Chapter 7: System models Chapter 8: Software prototyping Chapter 9: Formal specification Part 3: Design Chapter 10: Architectural design Chapter 11: Distributed systems architectures Chapter 12: Object-oriented design Chapter 13: Real-time software design=20 Chapter 14: Design with reuse=20 Chapter 15: User interface design Chapter 16: Dependability Chapter 17: Critical systems specification Chapter 18: Critical systems development Part 5: Verification and Validation Chapter 19: Verification and validation Chapter 20: Software testing Chapter 21: Critical systems validation Part 6: Management Chapter 22: Managing people Chapter 23: Software cost estimation Chapter 24: Quality management Chapter 25: Process improvement Part 7: Evolution Chapter 26: Legacy systems Chapter 27: Software change Chapter 28: Software re-engineering Chapter 29: Configuration management In my opinion, the book is a good candidate for a text in the general area of software engineering. Exercises at the end of each chapter further enhance its appropriateness as a text. As can be seen from the large number of chapter topics, the book would do nicely as the core text for an entire sequence of software engineering courses, providing a common point of reference. It could also be used as the key text in one or more advanced topics, for example requirements engineering and critical systems, supplemented with suggested readings. I recommend that professors looking for a good software engineering text or practitioners that need a good point of reference in this area, consider this book. Pressman, Roger S.
