<p>SOFTWARE ENGINEERING ESSENTIALS Volume I: The Development Process FOURTH EDITION A multi- text software engineering course or courses (based on the 2013 IEEE SWEBOK) for undergraduate and graduate university students A self-teaching IEEE CSDP/CADA certificate exam training course based on the Computer Society’s CSDP exam specifications These software engineering books serves two separate but connected audiences and roles: 1. Software engineers who wish to study for and pass either or both of the IEEE Computer Society's software engineering certification exams. The Certified Software Development Professional (CSDP) and is awarded to software engineers who have 5 to 7 years of software development experience and pass the CSDP exam. This certification was instituted in 2001 and establishes that the certificate holder is a competent software engineer in most areas of software engineering such as: • Software project manager • Software developer • Software configuration manager • Software quality-assurance expert • Software test lead • And so forth The other certificate is for recent software engineering graduates or self-taught software engineers and is designated Certified Software Development Associate (CDSA). The CSDA also requires passing an exam, but does not require any professional experience. 2. University students who are taking (or reading) a BS or MS degree in software engineering, or practicing software engineers who want to update their knowledge. This book was written as a guide to help software engineers take and pass the IEEE CSDP exam. However several reviewers commented that this book would also make a good university text book for a undergraduate or graduate course in software engineering. So the original books were modified to be applicable to both tasks. The SWEBOK (Software Engineering Body of Knowledge) is a major milestone in the development and publicity of software engineering technology. However it needs to be noted that SWEBOK was NOT developed as a software engineering tutorial or textbook. The SWEBOK is intended to catalog software engineering concepts, not teach them. The new, three-volume, fourth edition, Software Engineering Essentials, by Drs. Richard Hall Thayer and Merlin Dorfman attempts to fill this void (you are now reading Volume I). This new software engineering text expands on and replaces the earlier two-volume, third-edition, Software Engineering books which was also written by Thayer and Dorfman and published by the IEEE Computer Society Press [2006]. These new Volumes I and II offer a complete and detailed overview of software engineering as defined in IEEE SWEBOK 2013. These books provide a thorough analysis of software development in requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance, plus the supporting processes of configuration management, quality assurance, verification and validation, and reviews and audits. To keep up with evolution of the software industry (as expressed through evolution of the SWEBOK Guide, CSDP/CSDA, and the curriculum guidelines) a third volume in the Soft-ware Engineering series is needed. This third volume contains: • Software Engineering Measurements • Software Engineering Economics • Computer Foundations • Mathematics Foundations • Engineering Foundations This three-volume, Software Engineering Essentials series, provides an overview snapshot of the software state of the practice in a form that is a lot easier to digest than the SWEBOK Guide. The three-volume set is also a valuable reference (useful well beyond undergraduate and graduate software engineering university programs) that provides a concise survey of the depth and breadth of software engineering. These new KAs exist so that software engineers can demonstrate a mastery of scientific technology and engineering. This is in answer to the criticism of software engineering that it does not contain enough engineering to qualify it as an engineering discipline.</p>

IEEE CSDP & CSDA Exam Study Guide A study guide for the IEEE CSDP/CSDA software engineering certificate exam --- the CD version Volume I, Second Edition (Volume II is an accompanying CD) This Second edition of the software engineering certificate training course is applicable to both the CSDP and the CSDA exams even though sometimes we may only refer to the CSDP exam. The purpose of this training course is listed in the following six subparagraphs: • First, this course is designed to prepare you, the reader, to pass the IEEE CSDP or CSDA exam, which is part of the qualification for the CSDP or the CSDA certification. It is not a general course in software engineering, but is tailored to those areas that have a high probability of generating exam questions. • Second, you may use the material on this CD to read and/or listen to the recording as a means of improving the reader’s skill in software engineering in preparing for a state required exam in order to be li-censed as a “software engineer.” (For example, Texas licenses soft-ware engineers.) • Third, neither the author of the course nor any other instructor has seen the exam. The IEEE does not want to be accused of teaching the exam. Whether or not you pass the CSDP/CSDA exam is dependent upon your software engineering experience and knowledge. • Fourth, this course was based on the CSDP exam specifications furnished by the Computer Society’s CSDP Certification Committee. These are the same specifications that were used by the exam writers. It is assumed that the exam writers and course author have arrived at the same interpretation of the exam specifications. • Fifth, this course does not contain all the information necessary to pass the exam. Five days (the live lecture equivalent) is an insufficient amount of time to impart to you a discipline as complicated as soft-ware engineering. This course provides a detailed outline of the exam specifications, basic definitions in the field of software engineering based on these specifications, and pointers to other references that you can use while studying in preparation for the CSDP exam. • Sixth, the original live-lecture course is a 3-day seminar where ques-tions are encouraged and in some cases answers from compatriots who are also taking the course. This of course is not possible with a DVD or CD course. We tried to compensate by giving you extra material. This resulted in a course that if given live would take approximately 5 days.

Certification

<p>This book serves four separate but connected audiences: (1) This book expands on the software engineering outline expressed in SWEBOK, Version 3.0, i.e., to provide the "meat-on-the bones" where SWEBOK is the "bones. (2) When used as a software engineering tutorial, it can be used to provide a detailed software engineering education to university-level software engineering students. (3)When used as a software engineering study guide, this document can impart software engineering knowledge to assist practicing software engineers to take and pass the new IEEE Professional Software Engineering Master (PSEM) Certification exams. (4) When used as a software engineering overview, this book can be referenced by journeyman programmers to improve their background and understanding of software engineering fundamentals. This book will provide a comprehensive overview of software engineering knowledge and skills necessary for a well-qualified programmer to become an entry level "software engineer."</p>
