Strategic Software Engineering: An Interdisciplinary Approach addresses technical and scientific aspects of software development in a way that is accessible to a wide audience. It provides a review of software development models and processes, followed with an assessment of how process models evolved over time and what directions should be taken to improve them. The authors then focus on the relation between problem-solving techniques and strategies for effectively confronting real-world problems. They analyze the impact of interdisciplinary factors on software development, including the role of people and fiscal effects. The book concludes with a brief look at specialized systems development.
