This book is an ideal reference for software engineers, developers, and researchers. It explores game programming and development from a software engineering perspective, presenting a collection of emerging research on the interaction between two traditionally distinct fields-games and software engineering. Featuring contributions from leading e

Evidence-Based Software Engineering and Systematic Reviews provides a clear introduction to the use of an evidence-based model for software engineering research and practice. It explains the roles of primary studies (experiments, surveys, case studies) as elements of an over-arching evidence model, rather than as disjointed elem

This book introduces model-driven approaches in software development using a pragmatic presentation that includes foundational sidebars and industrial experiences.

Practical Guidance on the Efficient Development of High-Quality Software Introduction to Software Engineering, Second Edition equips students with the fundamentals to prepare them for satisfying careers as software engineers regardless of future changes in the field, even if the changes are unpredictable or disruptive in nature. Retaining the same organization as its predecessor, this second edition adds considerable material on open source and agile development models. The text helps students understand software development techniques and processes at a reasonably sophisticated level. Students acquire practical experience through team software projects. Throughout much of the book, a relatively large project is used to teach about the requirements, design, and coding of software. In addition, a continuing case study of an agile software development project offers a complete picture of how a successful agile project can work. The book covers each major phase of the software development life cycle, from developing software requirements to software maintenance. It also discusses project management and explains how to read software engineering literature. Three appendices describe software patents, command-line arguments, and flowcharts.

This book introduces model-driven approaches in software development using a pragmatic presentation that includes foundational sidebars and industrial experiences.

Evidence-Based Software Engineering and Systematic Reviews provides a clear introduction to the use of an evidence-based model for software engineering research and practice. It explains the roles of primary studies (experiments, surveys, case studies) as elements of an over-arching evidence model, rather than as disjointed elements in the empirical spectrum. Supplying a clear understanding of empirical software engineering practices and knowledge, it provides up-to-date guidance on how to conduct secondary studies in software engineering¿replacing the existing 2004 and 2007 technical reports.

This book is an ideal reference for software engineers, developers, and researchers. It explores game programming and development from a software engineering perspective, presenting a collection of emerging research on the interaction between two traditionally distinct fields¿games and software engineering. Featuring contributions from leading experts in software engineering, the text covers topics such as HALO (Highly Addictive, sociaLly Optimized) software engineering, multi-player outdoor smartphone games, gamifying sports software, and artificial intelligence in games. It also discusses the use of games in software engineering education.

This book presents an attack basis for testing mobile and embedded systems in "smart" devices. It explains patterns and techniques ranging from simple mind mapping to sophisticated test labs. For traditional testers moving into the mobile and embedded area, the book bridges the gap between IT and mobile/embedded system testing. It illustrates how to apply both traditional and new approaches. For those working with mobile/embedded systems without an extensive background in testing, the book brings together testing ideas, techniques, and solutions that are immediately applicable to testing smart and mobile devices.

This book provides proven techniques and strategies for developing dependable software. It gives a concise overview of how to develop and implement dependable software while examining key issues and usable techniques. The author addresses why dependability matters, what it means for a system to be dependable, how to build a dependable system, and how to assess whether a system is adequately dependable. He helps software engineers understand why the software is being asked to do what it is being asked to do as well as why the software is made to operate on the particular platform specified.
