Description

Practical Handbook to understand the hidden language of computer hardware and softwareDESCRIPTIONThis book teaches the essentials of software engineering to anyone who wants to become an active and independent software engineer expert. It covers all the software engineering fundamentals without forgetting a few vital advanced topics such as software engineering with artificial intelligence, ontology, and data mining in software engineering.The primary goal of the book is to introduce a limited number of concepts and practices which will achieve the following two objectives:Teach students the skills needed to execute a smallish commercial project.Provide students with the necessary conceptual background for undertaking advanced studies in software engineering through courses or on their own.KEY FEATURESThis book contains real-time executed examples along with case studies.Covers advanced technologies that are intersectional with software engineering.Easy and simple language, crystal clear approach, and straight forward comprehensible presentation.Understand what architecture design involves, and where it fits in the full software development life cycle.Learning and optimizing the critical relationships between analysis and design.Utilizing proven and reusable design primitives and adapting them to specific problems and contexts.WHAT WILL YOU LEARNThis book includes only those concepts that we believe are foundational. As executing a software project requires skills in two dimensions-engineering and project management-this book focuses on crucial tasks in these two dimensions and discuss the concepts and techniques that can be applied to execute these tasks effectively. WHO THIS BOOK IS FORThe book is primarily intended to work as a beginner's guide for Software Engineering in any undergraduate or postgraduate program. It is directed towards students who know the program but have not had formal exposure to software engineering.The book can also be used by teachers and trainers who are in a similar state-they know some programming but want to be introduced to the systematic approach of software engineering.TABLE OF CONTENTS1.

Acknowledgement
We would like to express our gratitude to BPB Publications, who conceived this idea of a concise introductory book and created this opportunity. We would also like to express our thanks to our students as they not only learned from us but also taught us many things.
Preface
As a process of guiding beginners on Software Engineering remains one of the hardest subjects to teach largely because of the wide range of topics the area encompasses. We have believed for some time that we often tend to teach too many concepts and topics in guiding process resulting in shallow knowledge and little insight on the application of these concepts. The Software Engineering is finally about the application of concepts to efficiently engineer good software solutions.
Goals
We believe that guide book on Software Engineering should focus on imparting to students the knowledge and skills that are needed to successfully execute a commercial project of a few person-months efforts while employing proper practices and techniques. It is worth pointing out that a vast majority of the projects executed in the industry today fall in this scope—executed by a small team over a few months. I also believe that by carefully selecting the concepts and topics, we can, in the course of a semester, achieve this. This is the motivation of this book. The goal of this book is to introduce to the students a limited number of concepts and practices which will achieve the following two objectives:
– Teach the student the skills needed to execute a smallish commercial project.
– Provide the students necessary conceptual background for undertaking advanced studies in software engineering, through courses or on their own.
Organization
We have included in this book only those concepts that we believe are foundational and through which the two objectives mentioned above can be met. Advanced topics have been intentionally left out. As executing a software project requires skills in two dimensions—engineering and project management—this book focuses on key tasks in these two dimensions, and discusses concepts and techniques that can be applied to effectively execute these tasks. The book is organized in a simple manner, with one chapter for each of the key tasks in a project. For engineering, these tasks are requirements analysis and specification, design of the module and its architecture, coding and testing. For project management, the key tasks are project planning and project monitoring and control, but both are discussed together in one chapter on project planning as even monitoring has to be planned. In addition, the book contains one chapter that clearly defines the problem domain of Software Engineering and another chapter that discusses the central concept of software process which integrates the different tasks executed in a project. Each chapter opens with some introduction and then clearly lists the chapter goals, or what the reader can expect to learn from the chapter. For the task covered in the chapter, the important concepts are first discussed, followed by a discussion of the output of the task, the desired quality properties of the output, and some practical methods and notations for performing the task. The explanations are supported by examples, and the key learnings are summarized in the end for the reader. The chapter ends with some self-assessment exercises and another chapter which is added on in this is model questions and answers. This chapter will help students to prepare for the examination and for own assessment.
Target Audience
The book is primarily intended for as a beginner’s guide for Software Engineering in any undergraduate or postgraduate program. It is targeted for students who know the programme but have not had formal exposure to software engineering. The book can also be used by teachers and trainers who are in a similar state—know some programming but want to be introduced to the systematic approach of software engineering.
