Product Description
This textbook introduces
software engineering to advanced-level undergraduate and graduate students of computer science. It emphasizes a case-study approach whereby a project is developed through the course of the book, illustrating the different activities of
software development. The sequence of chapters is essentially the same as the sequence of activities performed during a typical
software project. The revised edition updates this sequence for today's standards and adds a valuable chapter on architecture. All activities, including quality assurance and control activities, are described in each chapter as integral activities for that phase of development. Similarly, the author carefully introduces appropriate metrics for controlling and assessing the
software process. The text is bolstered by numerous examples, chapter summaries, a helpful bibliography, and good index.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: An Integrated Approach to Software Engineering (Undergraduate Texts in Computer Science) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for an undergraduate course in software engineering. I found it helped me well in the course since it was easily readable and pretty straightforward in its explanations. The content is a breather from the regular logic applications from the rest of Computer Science classes, but I guess that's ok since it's focus is on the process of software development.
