Project-Based Software Engineering is the first book to provide hands-on process and practice in software engineering essentials for the beginner. The book presents steps through the software development life cycle and two running case studies that develop as the steps are presented. Running parallel to the process presentation and case studies, the book supports a semester-long software development project. This book focuses on object-oriented software development, and supports the conceptualization, analysis, design and implementation of an object-oriented project. It is mostly language-independent, with necessary code examples in Java. A subset of UML is used, with the notation explained as needed to support the readers' work. Two running case studies a video game and a library check out system show the development of a software project. Both have sample deliverables and thus provide the reader with examples of the type of work readers are to create. This book is appropriate for readers looking to gain experience in project analysis, design implementation, and testing.

Almost all software projects are risky. The goal of every project manager is to somehow deal with the cost and schedule uncertainty while meeting your customer's needs. In Object-Oriented Project Management with UML, Murray Cantor describes an elegant, UML-based approach to managing object-oriented projects guaranteed to deliver high-quality software on time and within budget. Drawing on his experience managing major software projects at IBM and TASC, Cantor supplies you with: * Proven ways to reap the benefits of using UML tools to tame most project demons and deliver optimal OO systems * Tips on integrating object-based techniques with traditional methods for project planning, risk management, scheduling, time-phased budgeting, and more * Expert advice on how to handle all the important "people" issues that crop up during a development project * Real-life war stories that let you see firsthand what worked and what didn't on several major development projects * A full-length project example that walks you through every phase of a project told in terms of problems and solutions Visit the companion Web site at www.wiley.com/compbooks/cantor to find: * Sample project schedules, budgets, database templates for managing use cases, and a work-breakdown structure * A spreadsheet workbook for managing incremental development * A development tracking diagram Prior to joining TASC, Dr. Cantor was a development manager at IBM, where he oversaw the development of high-end graphics and multimedia systems.

Object Solutions is a direct outgrowth of Grady Booch's experience with object-oriented project in development around the world. This book focuses on the development process and is the perfect resource for developers and managers who want to implement object technologies for the first time or refine their existing object-oriented development practice. The book is divided into two major sections. The first four chapters describe in detail the process of object-oriented development in terms of inputs, outputs, products, activities, and milestones. The remaining ten chapters provide practical advice on key issues including management, planning, reuse, and quality assurance. Drawing upon his knowledge of strategies used in both successful and unsuccessful projects, Grady Booch offers pragmatic advice for applying object-technologies and controlling projects effectively.

This book walks developers through every step of the object-oriented development process, showing how to tailor and document the development process that is ideal for their organizations.This book shows how to tailor your own object-oriented development process -- a process that delivers software more effectively and virtually documents itself. It presents new techniques for requirements gathering, performing initial object-oriented analysis, transitioning to object-oriented design from procedural environments, implementing a design, and validating the results. It includes comprehensive templates and examples for each phase of the lifecycle. It also presents a detailed case study of a complete project, with example workbook and work products.All object-oriented developers, regardless of the languages and environments they utilize.

Software Engineering and Environment examines the various aspects of software development, describing a number of software life cycle models. Twelve in-depth chapters discuss the different phases of a software life cycle, with an emphasis on the object-oriented paradigm. In addition to technical models, algorithms, and programming styles, the author also covers several managerial issues key to software project management. Featuring an abundance of helpful illustrations, this cogent work is an excellent resource for project managers, programmers, and other computer scientists involved in software production.
