Software Engineering : Concepts and Practices / Ugrasen Suman

It includes appendix and bibliography.

Overview:
Fast changing technologies, rapid software development, and increasing demand for software have brought significant attention to software engineering. This book presents concepts and practices of software engineering as applicable to the software industry. It will acquaint students with the basic and advanced concepts of software engineering, along with the tools and techniques used in the various phases of software development. Software engineering has several activities which are presented in the sequence they are applied in the development of a software project. The emerging concepts of software engineering are also incorporated. Concepts are explained using illustrative examples and case studies. Each chapter showcases sufficient number of review questions and multiple-choice questions for analysing the understanding of concepts. This book is suitable for software engineering courses at, both, graduate and postgraduate levels.
