Introduction to Software Engineering Design emphasizes design practice at an introductory level using object-oriented analysis and design techniques and UML 2.0. Readers will learn to use best practices in software design and development. Pedagogical features include learning objectives and orientation diagrams, summaries of key concepts, end-of-section quizzes, a large running case study, team projects, over 400 end-of-chapter exercises, and a glossary of key terms.

 

 

This text covers all aspects of software design in four parts:

 

Part I introduces the discipline of design, generic design processes, and design management

 

Part II covers software product design, including analysis activities such as needs elicitation and documentation, requirements development activities such as requirements specification and validation, prototyping, and use case modeling

 

Part III covers engineering design analysis, including conceptual modeling and both architectural and detailed design

 

Part IV surveys patterns in software design, including architectural styles and common mid-level design patterns
