• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Road Map to Software Engineering: A Standards-Based Guide by James Moore is recommended by the Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society as a useful guide for software practitioners applying software engineering standards.

Using software engineering standards in producing effective software

This book provides a single overview of "codified software engineering," the set of knowledge and best practices that apply to most projects most of the time. By laying out the accepted techniques, the text allows managers-as well as those paying the bill-to eliminate wasteful experimentation with unproved software practices while giving more attention to true innovations.

Prepared in accordance with the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), The Road Map to Software Engineering organizes relevant IEEE software and systems standards, along with standards from other sources, using two frameworks: the SWEBOK Guide's topical knowledge areas and the widely used IEEE/EIA 12207 standard. Each framework reinforces the other, showing when other standards should be applied, as well as how they relate to one another.

The Road Map to Software Engineering allows practitioners to quickly locate the standards pertinent to questions arising in real projects. Providing students with a comprehensive body of knowledge, the text also assists experienced professionals in finding and filling gaps in their understanding. Endorsed and recommended by the Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee of the IEEE Computer Society, this book is a useful guide for both practitioners and students.

Autorenporträt

JAMES W. MOORE is a thirty-five-year veteran of software engineering and a fifteen-year veteran of software engineering standardization. With degrees from the University of North Carolina and Syracuse, he has worked in both the commercial and defense sectors for IBM and, now, The MITRE Corporation. Currently he serves as the Vice President for Electronic Products and Services of the IEEE Computer Society and as the liaison between ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 and the IEEE Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee, the world's two largest providers of software and systems engineering standards. He is an Executive Editor of the IEEE Computer Society's Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge and a member of the Editorial Board of the recent revision of the Encyclopedia of Software Engineering.
