Sobre este producto

SEMAT (Software Engineering Methods and Theory) is an international initiative designed toidentify a common ground, or universal standard, for software engineering. It is supported bysome of the most distinguished contributors to the field. Creating a simple language to describemethods and practices, the SEMAT team expresses this common ground as a kernel–orframework–of elements essential to all software development.The Essence of Software Engineering introduces this kernel and shows how to apply it whendeveloping software and improving a team’s way of working. It is a book for software professionals,not methodologists. Its usefulness to development team members, who need to evaluate andchoose the best practices for their work, goes well beyond the description or application ofany single method.“Software is both a craft and a science, both a work of passion and a work of principle.Writing good software requires both wild flights of imagination and creativity, as well as the hardreality of engineering tradeoffs. This book is an attempt at describing that balance.”—Robert Martin (unclebob) “The work of Ivar Jacobson and his colleagues, started as part of the SEMAT initiative,has taken a systematic approach to identifying a ‘kernel’ of software engineering principles andpractices that have stood the test of time and recognition.”—Bertrand Meyer “The software development industry needs and demands a core kernel and language for definingsoftware development practices—practices that can be mixed and matched, brought on board fromother organizations; practices that can be measured; practices that can be integrated; and practicesthat can be compared and contrasted for speed, quality, and price. This thoughtful book gives agood grounding in ways to think about the problem, and a language to address the need,and every software engineer should read it.”—Richard Soley
