Informationen zum Autor Ph.D. Munson Software Specification and Design: An Engineering Approach proposes a strategy for software development that emphasizes measurement. It promotes the measurement of every aspect of the software environment, from initial testing through test activity and deployment/operation. This book details the path to effective software and design. It recognizes that each project is different, with its own set of problems, so it does not propose a specific model. Instead, it establishes a foundation for the discipline of software engineering that is both theoretically rigorous and relevant to the real-world engineering environment.
