本书分为三部分。第一部分意在激励读者，并向从业人员和研究人员解释了软件工程知识的重要性。还讨论了理解过程的必要性，以决定开发人员的“灵活度”和完成项目计划。第二部分讨论了开发和维护的主要步骤，如需求的引出、建模和检查，设计问题的解决方案，代码的编写和测试，以及软件的交付。第三部分讨论了软件的评估和改进，分析如何评价过程和产品的质量，并如何加以改进。

This introduction to software engineering and practice addresses both procedural and object-oriented development. The book applies concepts consistently to two common examples -- a typical information system and a real-time system. It combines theory with real, practical applications by providing an abundance of case studies and examples from the current literature. This revision has been thoroughly updated to reflect significant changes in software engineering, including modeling and agile methods.
