This text has been written to communicate the complexity of software engineering, a field that is on the rise. Braude has combined practical industrial experience with up-to-date academic experience to give students a feel for the complexity and important issues of real-world development. A longitudinal case study using IEEE standards is implemented throughout the text, along with many other examples, which enable students to understand the implications of quality factors, proper requirements documents, appropriate design and appropriate project management techniques. Suitable for a one semester, senior level course, or first year graduate course in Software Engineering.

Software Engineering: An Object Oriented Perspective, will also be of interest to working, professional software engineers.
