Design and Implementation of Software Engineering for Modern Web Applications

Due to the continuous technology advancements and customer demands, software systems are getting larger and more complex ever-increasingly. So, software systems may not necessarily be developed within the limited budget and delivered at the expected time. Quality is also another important issue that needs to be addressed in software development. Indeed, failing to meet the expected level of quality may lead to catastrophic consequences, especially for safety-critical systems (e.g., railway systems, airplanes, etc.). To manage the development of large and complex software systems, software engineering has been introduced, which aims at applying the principles of engineering to software development. By doing so, software systems can be developed within budget and delivered at the expected time with the expected level of quality. This Book is a project-oriented software engineering book, in which readers are expected to be involved in a software project. By doing so, it is intended to give readers the chance of having practical experience on the taught material and their programming skills. Moreover, readers can also enhance their skills on working as a team to accomplish a project in a way that meets the requirements of the customers. The aim of this book is to introduce the discipline of Software Engineering, focusing on the knowledge and technology required and how they can be applied in developing software systems in terms of their requirements, analysis, and design. It also aims at introducing the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to let readers have practical experience in specifying software requirements, analysis, and design. See more
