From the Author

We have taught software engineering courses since 1991, and have used preliminary versions of the material in this book for three years with positive feedback from students. Our industrial experience performing software development, consulting and professional training has also allowed us to focus on material that is important to employers.Since we are actively teaching courses based on this book, we intend to continually add new exercises, sample exams, answers and comments about the exercises.
