Synopsis

Primarily focusing on "what to do" rather than on "how to do", this handbook offers the baselines and step-by-step instructions needed to develop and maintain a quality software system. An introduction to str uctured development and maintenance procedures, the book covers the basic concepts of software engineerng standards in an MIS organization, technical tasks, methodologies, practical applications and automated tools. Organized into three broad sections, the book examines concepts, methods and automated tools that reinforce and support the software engineerng life cycle; events such as structured testing, structured walkthrough, data modelling, prototyping, the development centre, JAD-like techniques and CASE tools; and the software cost-of-quality. Each phase of different-sized projects is also included to spotlight project estimates, detailed work breakdowns of technical activities and useful commercial software packages.
