DESCRIPTION:
His research focuses on software evolution and comprehension.. Václav Rajlich is a professor and former chair of computer science at Wayne State University. Dr. Rajlich is an editorial board member of the Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution and the founder and permanent steering committee member of the IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC)
Don't change a thing! I have been using this text since it was in preprint, and should have written this review sooner. This is the text that I would have written, but now there is no need! I hold that there really is no such thing as development; only maintenance and evolution on the empty system. Given that assumption, this text shows students what their professional practice will be like. Using its directions and such for projects, I have been able to put together a sophomore level software engineering course that students actually can reference in job interviews. ["I was part of a team that performed successful maintenance and evolution . SE:The current practice I have used this book in teaching software engineering this semester (Winter 2012). I was looking for a suitable software engineering book for a long time, and this one finally has what I need. It covers most topics that I can think of for a software engineering course. I particularly like the emphasis on iterative software development, and the combination of concrete code examples with the high-level notions.As I was teaching an advanced course on Software Engineering (fourth year undergrad + grad students), I have had many other materials to cover. However, still I covered most part of this book in my lectures. It was. An introductory book to SE and agile concepts The book begins with an introduction to process models and a difference between traditional and agile methodologies, then moves to an explanation of each step in the model as it pertains to agile to later wrap up with a couple chapters with examples using the entire process. The author does not go into a great level of detail of each process, but does provide simple examples by painting a picture in the reader's mind and providing diagrams that accompany the text. Challenge questions are at the end of each chapter, accompanied by referenced material in "Further Reading" sections that include other books and papers to fu
… this book explains software engineering not from a constructionist point of view, but from a change/maintenance perspective, meaning most of the time you need to read/analyze programs rather than write them (though there is plenty of material in the book to support green field development)."Will Tracz, ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, November 2013. "… a great read … this is an entirely different approach to teaching software engineering and it could really help students (and practitioners) understand recent advances in software engineering and become better
These projects emphasize the role of developers in a classroom-tailored version of the directed iterative process (DIP).For StudentsStudents gain a real understanding of software engineering processes through the lectures and projects. It shows how various developments fit together and fit into the contemporary software engineering mosaic. Software Engineering: The Current Practice teaches students basic software engineering skills and helps practitioners refresh their knowledge and explore recent developments in the field, including software changes and iterative processes of software development.After a historical overview and an introduction to software technology and models, the book discusses the software change and its phases, including concept location, impact analysis, refactoring, actualization, and verification. For ProfessionalsThe book gives programmers and software managers a unified view of the contemporary practice of software engineering. It then covers the most common iterative processes: agile, directed, and centralized processes. As is
