Synopses & Reviews
Software Engineering Standards: A User's Road Map describes the scope, roles, uses, and development trends of the most widely used software engineering standards. The book concentrates on important software engineering activities-quality and project management, system engineering, dependability, and safety. The analysis and regrouping of the standard collections exposes you to key relationships between standards. James Moore provides valuable insights that allow you to select standards to fill your specific needs with precision.
The book presents two types of diagrams that will guide you in designating and selecting the standards that meet your specific goals. The first is a layered view of standards that illustrates the internal relationships among standards within a collection. The road map, the second type, illustrates the external relationships among standards in same or different collections. By using the road map diagrams each chapter begins at a different starting point and leads you toward the selection of the software engineering standards that achieve your goals.
The book will appeal to software engineering standards users including senior technical professionals or managers with a background in software development. Standards-writers or professionals working on new or revised software engineering standards will find the book useful as well.
Synopsis
Describes the important standards and the plans and strategies that underlay and interrelate them. The book concentrates on those involving software engineering (quality management, project management, system engineering, dependability, and safety) and provides cross references to assist you in sampling the contents. By analyzing the standard collections and by exposing the key relationships and regrouping them in various ways, the author provides insights that allow you to select standards that fill your specific needs with precision. The book begins with an overview of important concepts in software engineering and illustrates the corresponding standards. It describes the scope, roles, and use of software engineering standards, the organizations that make them, and some future development trends. Following this, it introduces out two types of diagrams that will guide you guide in designating and selecting standards that meet your specific goals.
