The first course in software engineering is the most critical. Education must start from an understanding of the heart of software development, from familiar ground that is common to all software development endeavors. This book is an in-depth introduction to software engineering that uses a systematic, universal kernel to teach the essential elements of all software engineering methods. This kernel, Essence, is a vocabulary for defining methods and practices. Essence was envisioned and originally created by Ivar Jacobson and his colleagues, developed by Software Engineering Method and Theory (SEMAT) and approved by The Object Management Group (OMG) as a standard in 2014. Essence is a practice-independent framework for thinking and reasoning about the practices we have and the practices we need. Essence establishes a shared and standard understanding of what is at the heart of software development. Essence is agnostic to any particular method, lifecycle independent, programming language independent, concise, scalable, extensible, and formally specified. Essence frees the practices from their method prisons. The first part of the book describes Essence, the essential elements to work with, the essential things to do and the essential competencies you need when developing software. The other three parts describe more and more advanced use cases of Essence. Using real but manageable examples, it covers the fundamentals of Essence and the innovative use of serious games to support software engineering. It also explains how current practices such as user stories, use cases, Scrum, and micro-services can be described using Essence, and illustrates how their activities can be represented using the Essence notions of cards and checklists. The fourth part of the book offers a vision how Essence can be scaled to support large, complex systems engineering. Essence is supported by an ecosystem developed and maintained by a community of experienced people worldwide. From this ecosystem, professors and students can select what they need and create their own way of working, thus learning how to create ONE way of working that matches the particular situation and needs.

This new edition of the book, is restructured to trace the advancements made and landmarks achieved in software engineering. The text not only incorporates latest and enhanced software engineering techniques and practices, but also shows how these techniques are applied into the practical software assignments. The chapters are incorporated with illustrative examples to add an analytical insight on the subject. The book is logically organised to cover expanded and revised treatment of all software process activities. KEY FEATURES • Large number of worked-out examples and practice problems • Chapter-end exercises and solutions to selected problems to check students’ comprehension on the subject • Solutions manual available for instructors who are confirmed adopters of the text • PowerPoint slides available online at www.phindia.com/rajibmall to provide integrated learning to the students NEW TO THE FIFTH EDITION • Several rewritten sections in almost every chapter to increase readability • New topics on latest developments, such as agile development using SCRUM, MC/DC testing, quality models, etc. • A large number of additional multiple choice questions and review questions in all the chapters help students to understand the important concepts TARGET AUDIENCE • BE/B.Tech (CS and IT) • BCA/MCA • M.Sc. (CS) • MBA

The best way to learn software engineering is by understanding its core and peripheral areas. Foundations of Software Engineering provides in-depth coverage of the areas of software engineering that are essential for becoming proficient in the field. The book devotes a complete chapter to each of the core areas. Several peripheral areas are also explained by assigning a separate chapter to each of them. Rather than using UML or other formal notations, the content in this book is explained in easy-to-understand language. Basic programming knowledge using an object-oriented language is helpful to understand the material in this book. The knowledge gained from this book can be readily used in other relevant courses or in real-world software development environments. This textbook educates students in software engineering principles. It covers almost all facets of software engineering, including requirement engineering, system specifications, system modeling, system architecture, system implementation, and system testing. Emphasizing practical issues, such as feasibility studies, this book explains how to add and develop software requirements to evolve software systems. This book was written after receiving feedback from several professors and software engineers. What resulted is a textbook on software engineering that not only covers the theory of software engineering but also presents real-world insights to aid students in proper implementation. Students learn key concepts through carefully explained and illustrated theories, as well as concrete examples and a complete case study using Java. Source code is also available on the book’s website. The examples and case studies increase in complexity as the book progresses to help students build a practical understanding of the required theories and applications.

Practical Handbook to understand the hidden language of computer hardware and software DESCRIPTION This book teaches the essentials of software engineering to anyone who wants to become an active and independent software engineer expert. It covers all the software engineering fundamentals without forgetting a few vital advanced topics such as software engineering with artificial intelligence, ontology, and data mining in software engineering. The primary goal of the book is to introduce a limited number of concepts and practices which will achieve the following two objectives: Teach students the skills needed to execute a smallish commercial project. Provide students with the necessary conceptual background for undertaking advanced studies in software engineering through courses or on their own. KEY FEATURES - This book contains real-time executed examples along with case studies. - Covers advanced technologies that are intersectional with software engineering. - Easy and simple language, crystal clear approach, and straight forward comprehensible presentation. - Understand what architecture design involves, and where it fits in the full software development life cycle. - Learning and optimizing the critical relationships between analysis and design. - Utilizing proven and reusable design primitives and adapting them to specific problems and contexts. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN This book includes only those concepts that we believe are foundational. As executing a software project requires skills in two dimensionsÑengineering and project managementÑthis book focuses on crucial tasks in these two dimensions and discuss the concepts and techniques that can be applied to execute these tasks effectively.Ê WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR The book is primarily intended to work as a beginnerÕs guide for Software Engineering in any undergraduate or postgraduate program. It is directed towards students who know the program but have not had formal exposure to software engineering. The book can also be used by teachers and trainers who are in a similar stateÑthey know some programming but want to be introduced to the systematic approach of software engineering.
