  This book covers the essential knowledge and skills needed by a student who is specializing in software engineering. Readers will learn principles of object orientation, software development, software modelling, software design, requirements analysis and testing. The use of the Unified Modelling Language to develop software is taught in depth. Many concepts are illustrated using complete examples, with code written in Java. The most essential and practical software engineering knowledge is covered in reasonable depth, but the book is short and simple enough to be absorbed by a second-year student in one academic term. The focus is on knowledge and skills that industry most needs students to learn: object orientation, UML, Java, software architecture, user-interface design and quality assurance. The book teaches ways of thinking that have been shown to result in better software development: iterative development, risk management, careful evaluation of alternatives and effective communication.

  The authors' focus in this book is to deliver software engineering knowledge and skills that readers can put into immediate practical use. The book provides the essential topic coverage required by students of software engineering, from the nuts and bolts of objects to software architecture, from writing code to testing, from software development processes to project management. Working through nine contemporary themes in Software Engineering, students are given an awareness of key issues from understanding the customer and user, evaluating alternative requirements and design, to developing quantitative and logical thinking and effective communication.The book is designed to be used primarily in second-year software engineering courses, but is also widely use in its first edition as an introductory software engineering text at all levels. It will also be valuable to programming practitioners who want to develop a better understanding of modern software engineering.
