Software-Engineering: Mit 77 Bildern und 22 Übungsaufgaben

Die Kosten zur Erstellung von Software steigen im Vergleich zu den Hardwarekosten ständig. Um die wachsenden Anwenderansprüche zu befriedigen und mit dem rapiden technischen Fortschritt im Hardwarebereich Schritt halten zu können, wurde eine eigene Ingenieurdisziplin "Software-Engineering" notwendig. Das ingenieurmäßige Vorgehen soll sicherstellen, daß die Software-Herstellung termingerecht, kostengünstig, rationell und qualitätsbewußt geschieht. Software-Engineering ist ein ganz junges Gebiet der Informationswissenschaft. Deshalb sind die meisten Werke über diesen Bereich von der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion geprägt und im Anspruchsniveau relativ hoch. Für viele in der Programmierpraxis stehende Per­ sonen fehlt ein Lehrbuch einfacheren Charakters, das die Methoden und Hilfsmittel für die besonders wichtigen und kostenintensiven Phasen Entwurf und Test beschreibt. ln diese Lücke möchte dieses Buch stoßen. Aus der Fülle der in der Literatur vorgeschlagenen Methoden wurden diejenigen ausge­ wählt, die einerseits auf Grund ihrer systematischen Vorgehensweise besonders effizient sind und die andererseits wegen ihrer leichten Lernbarkeit und Einsetzbarkeit in der Praxis am häufigsten und erfolgreichsten Anwendung finden. Aus Gründen der Klarheit wurde auf eine eingehende Problematisierung der vorgestellten Methoden verzichtet. Der an einer kritischen Hinterfragung interessierte Leser sei auf das ausführliche Literaturver­ zeichnis verwiesen.

Software Engineering: Objektorientierte Software-Entwicklung mit der Unified Modeling Language

Nach erster Euphorie und der folgenden Ernüchterung herrscht im Augenblick wieder starkes Interesse an objektorientierten Themen. Der Schwerpunkt der Diskussionen und Entwicklungen liegt jetzt auf Methoden. Vereinfacht wird diese Diskussion durch die absehbare Standardisierung einer Notation zur Darstellung objektorientierter Modelle, der Unified Modeling Language (UML). Erschwert wird die Diskussion und die sachgerechte Entscheidung über den Einsatz objektorientierter Methoden durch den unterschiedlichen Hintergrund der Beteiligten. Hinzukommt eine vielfältig verwobene Begriffs­ welt, die verwirrend erscheinen kann und es wohl zum Teil auch ist. Hier setzt dieses Buch an. Es ist aus Vorlesungen über Software-Engineer­ ing an der Fachhochschule Harnburg hervorgegangen. Die Studierenden tru­ gen durch ihr konsequentes Nachfragen nach der Bedeutung der eingeführten oder einfach so verwendeten Begriffe dazu bei, dass ich mich systematisch um Definitionen und Hinweise auf abweichende Verwendung aller Begriffe bemüht habe. So ist ein Buch entstanden, das sich an Leser wendet, die aus unterschied­ lichen Gründen, aber ohne umfangreiche theoretische Vorbildung, objektori­ entierte Entwicklung lernen wollen oder müssen: • Studierende an Universitäten oder Fachhochschulen, • Software-Entwickler, die Programmiersprachen und klassische Methoden, wie Entity-Relationship-Modellierung oder strukturierte Analyse, einset­ zen und Objektorientierung lernen wollen, • Entwickler, die objektorientierte Programmierung kennen und nun die UML kennen lernen wollen. Dabei habe ich versucht, mir wichtig erscheinende Themen mit einigen Akzen­ ten zu behandeln, die ich in anderen Werken vermisst habe. Die wichtigsten Punkte, die behandelt werden, sind: • Darstellung eines systematischen, qualitätsorientierten Ansatzes. • Klare Definitionen aller vorkommenden Begriffe und Konzepte.

Software Engineering: Architecture-driven Software Development

Software Engineering: Architecture-driven Software Development is the first comprehensive guide to the underlying skills embodied in the IEEE's Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) standard. Standards expert Richard Schmidt explains the traditional software engineering practices recognized for developing projects for government or corporate systems. Software engineering education often lacks standardization, with many institutions focusing on implementation rather than design as it impacts product architecture. Many graduates join the workforce with incomplete skills, leading to software projects that either fail outright or run woefully over budget and behind schedule. Additionally, software engineers need to understand system engineering and architecture—the hardware and peripherals their programs will run on. This issue will only grow in importance as more programs leverage parallel computing, requiring an understanding of the parallel capabilities of processors and hardware. This book gives both software developers and system engineers key insights into how their skillsets support and complement each other. With a focus on these key knowledge areas, Software Engineering offers a set of best practices that can be applied to any industry or domain involved in developing software products. - A thorough, integrated compilation on the engineering of software products, addressing the majority of the standard knowledge areas and topics - Offers best practices focused on those key skills common to many industries and domains that develop software - Learn how software engineering relates to systems engineering for better communication with other engineering professionals within a project environment

Software Engineering 1: Abstraction and Modelling (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

The art, craft, discipline, logic, practice, and science of developing large-scale software products needs a believable, professional base. The textbooks in this three-volume set combine informal, engineeringly sound practice with the rigour of formal, mathematics-based approaches. Volume 1 covers the basic principles and techniques of formal methods abstraction and modelling. First this book provides a sound, but simple basis of insight into discrete mathematics: numbers, sets, Cartesians, types, functions, the Lambda Calculus, algebras, and mathematical logic. Then it trains its readers in basic property- and model-oriented specification principles and techniques. The model-oriented concepts that are common to such specification languages as B, VDM-SL, and Z are explained here using the RAISE specification language (RSL). This book then covers the basic principles of applicative (functional), imperative, and concurrent (parallel) specification programming. Finally, the volume contains a comprehensive glossary of software engineering, and extensive indexes and references. These volumes are suitable for self-study by practicing software engineers and for use in university undergraduate and graduate courses on software engineering. Lecturers will be supported with a comprehensive guide to designing modules based on the textbooks, with solutions to many of the exercises presented, and with a complete set of lecture slides.

Software Engineering 2: Specification of Systems and Languages (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

The art, craft, discipline, logic, practice and science of developing large-scale software products needs a professional base. The textbooks in this three-volume set combine informal, engineeringly sound approaches with the rigor of formal, mathematics-based approaches. This volume covers the basic principles and techniques of specifying systems and languages. It deals with modelling the semiotics (pragmatics, semantics and syntax of systems and languages), modelling spatial and simple temporal phenomena, and such specialized topics as modularity (incl. UML class diagrams), Petri nets, live sequence charts, statecharts, and temporal logics, including the duration calculus. Finally, the book presents techniques for interpreter and compiler development of functional, imperative, modular and parallel programming languages. This book is targeted at late undergraduate to early graduate university students, and researchers of programming methodologies. Vol. 1 of this series is a prerequisite text.

Software Engineering 3: Domains, Requirements, and Software Design (Texts in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series)

The final installment in this three-volume set is based on this maxim: "Before software can be designed its requirements must be well understood, and before the requirements can be expressed properly the domain of the application must be well understood." The book covers the process from the development of domain descriptions, through the derivation of requirements prescriptions from domain models, to the refinement of requirements into software architectures and component design.
