Object-Oriented Software Engineering: An Agile Unified Methodology 1st Edition

I really like this book. It has informative content and example for me to create a software system report to submit to my boss. I really glad that I found this book. I have listed each part below along with the chapters found in each one.Part 1 Introduction and System EngineeringChapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 Software Process and MethodologyChapter 3 System EngineeringPart 2 Analysis and Architectural DesignChapter 4 Software Requirements ElicitationChapter 5 Domain ModelingChapter 6 Architectural DesignPart 3 Modeling and Design of Interactive SystemsChapter 7 Deriving Use Cases from RequirementsChapter 8 Actor-System Interaction ModelingChapter 9 Object Interaction ModelingChapter 10 Applying Responsibility-Assignment PatternsChapter 11 Deriving a Design Class DiagramChapter 12 User Interface DesignPart 4 Modeling and Design of Other Types of SystemsChapter 13 Object State Modeling for Event-Driven SystemsChapter 14 Activity Modeling for Transformational SystemsChapter 15 Modeling and Design of Rule-Based SystemsPart 5 Applying Situation-Specific PatternsChapter 16 Applying Patterns to Design a State Diagram EditorChapter 17 Applying Patterns to Design a Persistence FrameworkPart 6 Implementation and Quality AssuranceChapter 18 Implementation ConsiderationsChapter 19 Software Quality AssuranceChapter 20 Software TestingPart 7 Maintenance and Configuration ManagementChapter 21 Software MaintenanceChapter 22 Software Configuration ManagementPart 8 Project Management and Software SecurityChapter 23 Software Project ManagementChapter 24 Software SecurityAppendicesA Personal Software Process: Estimation, Planning, and Quality AssuranceB Java TechnologiesC Software ToolsD Project Descriptions

Needed this for a class and had some great info for object oriented design.

Great book

As a former educator and student pursuing a second bachelor's degree I feel I am qualified to critique this text. This is a another prime example of an overpriced textbook written by a professor (David Kung of UTA) looking to facilitate his career by writing a book only other well experienced software engineers can understand. This book is used by professors teaching undergraduate Software Engineering 1 courses. Little to no effort is made to clarify the plethora of foreign terminology. The examples used in the book lack the details and specifics necessary to help someone with no exposure to software engineering lay hold of the concepts presented in the text. The author's presentation of the material is overwhelmingly redundant and it seems he goes out of his way to make himself seem highly intelligent. It is completely inappropriate for it's intended audience and as far as I'm concerned should be retired. The hallmark of a great teacher is that he/she can bring complicated and difficult concepts down to a level understandable to new students. This text misses the mark completely.

I needed this book for class it is the international version it was much cheaper and is exactly the same.The information in the book is clearly laid out and the writing is easy to understand.

Explains agile methodology, patterns, diagrams, test driven development - its all the.I found that book is not the best source for some definitions.

Excellent resource!

I'm all for agile processes but much of the research that is cited is garbage. One study cited and reprinted in the book reported a p-value of .48 :( . I don't know too many field where .48 margin-of error passes as reliable evidence. Most studies cited were questionably designed, used too few subjects to be reliable, yet the author uses them as premises and then builds arguments on them that are presented as fact. If you are a professor please read this book before assigning it to your class.

Nice as expected
