Deze auteur richt zich op wetenschappelijke publicaties binnen het vakgebied van informatica en software-engineering. Zijn werk kenmerkt zich door een diepgaand inzicht in zowel theoretische als praktische aspecten van de discipline. Hij wijdt zich in het bijzonder aan het ontwerp en de ontwikkeling van softwaresystemen en de methodologieën voor hun creatie. Zijn doel is bij te dragen aan de systematisering en verbetering van het softwareontwikkelingsproces.
This book offers an easily accessible foundation to the topic of software engineering. It focuses on the essential elements, providing the reader with the basic skills and knowledge required to execute a software project successfully.
This textbook provides an introduction to software engineering for undergraduate students of computer science. Its emphasis is on a case study approach in which 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. All activities, including quality assurance and control activities, are described in each chapter as integral activities for that phase of the development process. Similarly, the author carefully introduces appropriate metrics for controlling and assessing the software process. This book is intended for students who have had no previous training in software engineering and is suitable for a one semester course. In this new edition two trends are clearly highlighted: software processes and object orientation. From reviews of the first edition "I can recommend this book for classroom adoption or individual study..." Computing Reviews "Overall, the book is very readable and exceptionally well organized ... exposes the reader to many current sophistictaed formal and quantitative methods." American Scientist
