Software Engineering: Architecture-driven Software Development is the first comprehensive guide to the underlying skills embodied in the IEEE's Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) standard. Standards expert Richard Schmidt explains the traditional software engineering practices recognized...

The book presents a comprehensive discussion on software quality issues and software quality assurance (SQA) principles and practices, and lays special emphasis on implementing and managing SQA. Primarily designed to serve three audiences; universities and college students, vocational training participants,...

Poor performance is one of the main quality-related shortcomings that cause software projects to fail. Thus, the need to address performance concerns early during the software development process is fully acknowledged, and there is a growing interest in the research and software industry communities...

The development of practical software is exceedingly dynamic in nature and the software industry itself plays a key role in this process. As a result, higher education institutions need to produce graduates at primary and postgraduate degree levels that are well matched to the needs of local and international...

Software developers use different techniques for identification and specification of a domain’s characteristics and requirements for a planned application. The importance of this step cannot be understated as it is impossible to be highly efficient with a weak beginning, even with a strong end of the...

This book has been designed to strengthen the software management skills of engineering students and software professionals. It provides a clear and exhaustive discussion of software engineering techniques that are complement and unique for most software development methodologies. The book further discusses...

Building Intelligent Information Systems Software shows scientists and engineers how to build applications that model complex information, data, and knowledge without the need for coding. Traditional software development takes time and leads to inflexible, complicated applications that almost, but...

Embedded Software Development With C offers both an effectual reference for professionals and researchers, and a valuable learning tool for students by laying the groundwork for a solid foundation in the hardware and software aspects of embedded systems development. Key features include a resource...

This book is a collection of taxonomy and review of contemporary model in the field of software development and maintenance. This book is basically the result of our passion toward the research of application of software engineering concepts. This work is derived from the need for accurate fault estimation...

Software developers need to work harder and harder to bring value to their development process in order to build high quality applications and remain competitive. Developers can accomplish this by improving their productivity, quickly solving problems, and writing better code. A wealth of open...

Virtual platforms are finding widespread use in both pre- and post-silicon computer software and system development. They reduce time to market, improve system quality, make development more efficient, and enable truly concurrent hardware/software design and bring-up. Virtual platforms increase productivity...

To understand the principles and practice of software development, there is no better motivator than participating in a software project with real-world value and a life beyond the academic arena. Software Development: An Open Source Approach immerses students directly into an agile free and open source software (FOSS) development process. It focus

“This book is an essential tool in filling the knowledge gaps we have in being Agile on complicated projects. The other way to fill these gaps is through expensive and painful trial and error. From now on, I’ll recommend reading this book instead.”Mike Cohn, Mountain Goat SoftwareSolutions for...

Thoroughly reviewed and eagerly anticipated by the agile community, User Stories Applied offers a requirements process that saves time, eliminates rework, and leads directly to better software. The best way to build software that meets users' needs is to begin with "user stories": simple,...
