To deal with the difficulties inherent in large-scale software development, the foundations of software engineering are yet to be explored. This comprehensive text is the first book to cover the theoretical and empirical foundations of software engineering. It provides a framework of software engineering methodologies and covers a wide range of foundations such as philosophy, informatics, and engineering economics. Self-contained and requiring only basic programming experience, this book is filled with in-depth comments, annotated references, real-world problems and heuristic questions. Software Engineering Foundations is an important book for software engineers and students alike.
