The approach we take in this book is to present a broad perspective on software engineering, and we won't focus on any particular method or tool. There are no simple solutions to software engineering problems, and we need a wide range of tools and techniques to solve software engineering problems. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world or even to survive , Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track.
They'd have to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, to fail fast. And they needed timely, relevant data to track their progress—to measure what mattered. Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He had first discovered OKRs in the s as an engineer at Intel, where the legendary Andy Grove "the greatest manager of his or any era" drove the best-run company Doerr had ever seen.
Later, as a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove's brainchild with more than fifty companies. Wherever the process was faithfully practiced, it worked. In this goal-setting system, objectives define what we seek to achieve; key results are how those top-priority goals will be attained with specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone's goals, from entry level to CEO, are transparent to the entire organization.
The benefits are profound. OKRs surface an organization's most important work. They focus effort and foster coordination. They keep employees on track. They link objectives across silos to unify and strengthen the entire company. Along the way, OKRs enhance workplace satisfaction and boost retention. In Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators including Bono and Bill Gates, to demonstrate the focus, agility, and explosive growth that OKRs have spurred at so many great organizations.
This book will help a new generation of leaders capture the same magic. This book provides an effective overview of the state-of-the art in software engineering, with a projection of the future of the discipline. It includes 13 papers, written by leading researchers in the respective fields, on important topics like model-driven software development, programming language design, microservices, software reliability, model checking and simulation.
In this inspiring context, some of the greatest minds in the field extensively discussed the past, present and future of software engineering. It guides readers on a voyage of discovery through the discipline of software engineering today, offering unique food for thought for researchers and professionals, and inspiring future research and development.
Thus, over the last few decades it has been increasingly recognized that it is particularly important to demonstrate the value of software engineering methods in real-world environments, a task which is the focus of empirical software engineering.
One of the leading protagonists of this discipline worldwide is Prof. Dieter Rombach, who dedicated his entire career to empirical software engineering. For his many important contributions to the field he has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the U. This book, published in honor of his 60th birthday, is dedicated to Dieter Rombach and his contributions to software engineering in general, as well as to empirical software engineering in particular.
This book presents invited contributions from a number of the most internationally renowned software engineering researchers like Victor Basili, Barry Boehm, Manfred Broy, Carlo Ghezzi, Michael Jackson, Leon Osterweil, and, of course, by Dieter Rombach himself. The contributions summarize some of the most important trends in software engineering today and outline a vision for the future of the field.
The book is structured into three main parts. Finally, the third part discusses a broad vision for the future of software engineering. This revised edition of Software Engineering-Principles and Practices has become more comprehensive with the inclusion of several topics. The book now offers a complete understanding of software engineering as an engineering discipline.
Like its previous edition, it provides an in-depth coverage of fundamental principles, methods and applications of software engineering. Taking into account the needs of both students and practitioners, the book presents a pragmatic picture of the software engineering methods and tools. A thorough study of the software industry shows that there exists a substantial difference between classroom study and the practical industrial application. Therefore, earnest efforts have been made in this book to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications.
The subject matter is well supported by examples and case studies representing the situations that one actually faces during the software development process. It will also be suitable for those software engineers who abide by scientific principles and wish to expand their knowledge. With the increasing demand of software, the software engineering discipline has become important in education and industry. This thoughtfully organized second edition of the book provides its readers a profound knowledge of software engineering concepts and principles in a simple, interesting and illustrative manner.
An industry insider explains why there is so much bad software—and why academia doesn't teach programmers what industry wants them to know. Why is software so prone to bugs? So vulnerable to viruses? Why are software products so often delayed, or even canceled?
Is software development really hard, or are software developers just not that good at it? In The Problem with Software, Adam Barr examines the proliferation of bad software, explains what causes it, and offers some suggestions on how to improve the situation.
For one thing, Barr points out, academia doesn't teach programmers what they actually need to know to do their jobs: how to work in a team to create code that works reliably and can be maintained by somebody other than the original authors.
As the size and complexity of commercial software have grown, the gap between academic computer science and industry has widened. It's an open secret that there is little engineering in software engineering, which continues to rely not on codified scientific knowledge but on intuition and experience.
Barr, who worked as a programmer for more than twenty years, describes how the industry has evolved, from the era of mainframes and Fortran to today's embrace of the cloud.
He explains bugs and why software has so many of them, and why today's interconnected computers offer fertile ground for viruses and worms. The difference between good and bad software can be a single line of code, and Barr includes code to illustrate the consequences of seemingly inconsequential choices by programmers.
Looking to the future, Barr writes that the best prospect for improving software engineering is the move to the cloud. Over the past decade, there has been an increase in attention and focus on the discipline of software engineering. Software engineering tools and techniques have been developed to gain more predictable quality improvement results. Software Process Improvement and Management: Approaches and Tools for Practical Development offers the latest research and case studies on software engineering and development.
The production of new process standards assist organizations and software engineers in adding a measure of predictability to the software process. Companies can gain a decisive competitive advantage by applying these new and theoretical methodologies in real-world scenarios.
Researchers, scholars, practitioners, students, and anyone interested in the field of software development and design should access this book as a major compendium of the latest research in the field.

In his earlier book, the author developed concrete methods for managing software development and maintenance. Certainly software engineering is an engineering discipline.
The process of understanding specifications, determining architecture, implementation, testing and repeating has many similarities to other engineering disciplines, while it has many differences too--for example, significant work can be done without physical fabrication. Computer engineers combine expertise in software design and implementation with fundamental engineering skills - a highly valuable skill set. They design and maintain websites, networks, massive databases, and other applications, in the process developing and integrating new software and hardware.
