This work from Watts Humphrey lays the foundation
for a disciplined approach to software engineering. In
his previous book, Humphrey developed methods for managing
an organization's software process. These methods, now commonly
practiced in industry, provide to programmers & managers
specific steps they can take to evaluate and
to improve their software development & software maintenance
capabilities. In Humphrey's new book, he scales those
methods down to a more personal level, helping
software engineers working on relatively small-scale programs to
develop the skills & the habits they will
need later in their professional life to plan,
track, and analyze large and complex software projects
more carefully and more successfully.
Clear examples & samples
drawn from industry enhance the practical focus of
the book. Exercises in the form of projects
give readers the opportunity to practice process management
as they learn it, a comprehensive instructor's set
includes notes on teaching the course, overhead masters,
modifiable assignment kits in Word, and a statistical
support package in the form of Excel spreadsheets
for the analysis of individual & class data.
Features:
-
Presents concepts & methods for a disciplined software
engineering process;
- Scales down industrial practices for planning,
tracking, analysis, and defect management to the needs
of small-scale program development;
- Shows how small project
disciplines provide a solid base for larger projects.
