Synopsis:

Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate introductory software engineering courses.

This introduction to software engineering and practice addresses both procedural and object-oriented development. It applies concepts consistently to two common examples―a typical information system and a real-time system. Features an abundance of case studies and examples from the current literature. A variety of additional resources are available via the text's Prentice Hall Catalog Web page.

From the Back Cover:

This thorough book blends concepts with real, practical applications by providing an abundance of examples.

Dr. Pfleeger applies state-of-the-art software engineering methods consistently to two case studies that are integrated throughout: a realistic information system and a requirements rich real-time system.
