Customer Reviews

This text was required as part of my 2013 Spring semester course in Software Engineering. Fortunately, it was on sale here for about $75 instead of the almost $200 they wanted at the university bookstore.

Unfortunately, despite the mandate of having it we hardly used it so I can't say I really got my money's worth. Most of the course content was delivered via slides and notes via the web.

For what little I did use of it, it seemed to be a decent guide to the basic principles of software engineering. It covers all the usual suspects: Design Models, Testing, Agile, Scrum, Use Cases vs. User Stories, Templates, etc.

If you are a programmer/software engineer that wants to take your team coding to the next level, then this is probably a good reference book for you to keep.
