Implementing the IEEE Software Engineering Standards, Adobe Readerby Michael E.C. Schmidt
Pearson Education 2000; US$ 35.99This is the eBook version of the printed book. Implementing the IEEE Software Engineering Standards is a practical and professional guide to implementing the IEEE Software Engineering standards in your software development process. There are 39 complex standards involved, some more critical than others. This book explains where to start, which standards to implement first, and how to integrate them into your current software development process. The book presents a realistic Software Life-Cycle Model to complement the standards and aid development. One of the book's biggest benefits is that it helps software engineers reconcile some latest "best practices" such as rapid prototyping and use of CASE tools with use of the standards. more...
Large-Scale Software Architectureby Jeff Garland; Richard Anthony
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 55.00The purpose of large-scale software architecture is to capture and describe practical representations to make development teams more effective.

Software Requirementsby Rick Lutowski
Auerbach Publications 2005; US$ 79.95Software Requirements: Encapsulation, Quality, and Reuse describes how to make requirements, and their implementing code, easier to change through the use of Freedom methodology. Freedom reduces software life cycle costs by making requirements quickly adaptable to changing technology and business needs. This book examines the definition of requirements and explains how they can be encapsulated within so software engineers and analysts can understand the nature of the requirements. With the theoretical underpinnings established, the book reviews the Freedom Requirements process and details the individual tasks of the process in a how-to fashion, explaining relevant terminology, recording notations, and more. more...
Reversingby Eldad Eilam
