Series on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering - Vol. 6
OBJECT-ORIENTED SOFTWARE: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE
by Luiz Fernando Capretz & Miriam A M Capretz (University of Western Ontario, Canada)
This is a textbook for a course in object-oriented software engineering at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as for software engineers. It contains more than 120 exercises of diverse complexity.
The book discusses fundamental concepts and terminology on object-oriented software development, assuming little background on software engineering, and emphasizes design and maintenance rather than programming.
It also presents up-to-date and easily understood methodologies and puts forward a software life cycle model which explicitly encourages reusability during software development and maintenance.
