Software Engineering

Book description

This book addresses basic and advanced concepts in software engineering and is intended as a textbook for an undergraduate-level engineering course. In addition to covering important concepts in software engineering, this book also addresses the perspective of decreasing the overall effort of writing quality software. It covers the entire spectrum of the software engineering life cycle starting from the requirement analysis until the implementation and maintenance of the project.
