Subject: Textbooks
Date: 12 May 1992
Originally collected by: [e-mail] (Hal Render)

Numbers 1-8 are Hal Render's original list in his rough order of preference.
1. _Software Engineering: The Production of Quality Software_
   by Shari Pfleeger, 2nd Edition, Macmillan, 1991, ISBN 0-02-395115-X
   [e-mail]: Like #2, had the best explanations of
        what I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods,
        and tools).
2. _Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach_ by Roger Pressman,
   2nd Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1987, ISBN 0-07-050783-X
   (3rd edition available fall 1991)
   [e-mail]: Like #1, had the best explanations of
        what I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods,
        and tools).
   [e-mail] (Robb Swanson): the definitive book on the subject as
        far as I'm concerned.
   [e-mail] (Michelle Johnson): a good text book as well
        as reference
3. _Software Systems Engineering_ by Andrew Sage and James D. Palmer
   [e-mail]: Like #1, had the best explanations of
        what I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods,
        and tools).
4. _Fundamentals of Software Engineering_ by Ghezzi, Jayazeri and Mandrioli
   Prentice-Hall, 1991
   [e-mail]: Like #5, good, and covered the issue of
        specifications and verification better, but at the expense of
        other aspects of the development process.  I may use one of them
        for a graduate course in software engineering.
   Nancy Leveson <[e-mail]>:  Better than Sommerville,
        although I like much of Sommerville.
5. _Software Engineering with Abstractions_ by Valdis Berzins and Luqi
   Addison Wesley, 1991, 624 pages.
   [e-mail]: Like #4, good, and covered the issue of
        specifications and verification better, but at the expense of
        other aspects of the development process.  I may use one of them
        for a graduate course in software engineering.
   [e-mail] (Pablo A. Straub): Both this and #9 have a good
        emphasis on using formal techniques (i.e.,  doing engineering
        properly), but they do not disregard informal methods; chapters
        are roughly organized around the traditional lifecycle.
        #5 is longer and can be used in a two-term sequence or for
        graduate students (it's  possible  to  use  it in a one-term
        undergrad course by covering only part of the material). One
        thing I like is that management and validation is given in all
        chapters, so that these activities are integrated into the
        development process.  Emphasizes the use of formally specified
        abstractions.  Uses the authors' specification language (Spec)
        to develop a project in Ada.
6. _Software Engineering_ by Ian Sommerville
    Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-17568-1
   [e-mail]: Our current text, and my basic problem
        with it is the vague way it covers many of the topics.
7. _Software Engineering with Student Project Guidance_ by Barbara Mynatt
   [e-mail]: Like #8, not bad, but fairly low-level
        and doesn't cover many tools and techniques I consider valuable.
8. _Software Engineering_ by Roger Jones
   [e-mail]: Like #7, not bad, but fairly low-level
        and doesn't cover many tools and techniques I consider valuable.
9. _Software Engineering: Planning for Change by David Alex Lamb,
   Prentice-Hall, 1988, 298 pages
   [e-mail] (Pablo A. Straub): Both this and #5 have a good
        emphasis on using formal techniques (i.e.,  doing engineering
        properly), but they do not disregard informal methods; chapters
        are roughly organized around the traditional lifecycle.
        #9 has the advantage of being shorter, yet covering most relevant
        topics (lifecycle phases, formal specs, v&v, configurations,
        management, etc.).  It is very appropriate for an undergrad course.
        It emphasizes that maintenance is a given and should be taken into
        account (hence the title).  Several specification techniques are
        covered and used to develop a project in Pascal.
10._A Practical Handbook for Software Development_ by N.D. Birrell and
   M.A. Ould, Cambridge University Press, 1985/88. ISBN 0-521-34792-0
        (Paper cover); ISBN 0-521-25462-0 (Hard cover)
   [e-mail] (Eoin Woods)
11._Fundamentals of Computing for Software Engineers_ by Eric S. Chan &
        Murat M. Tanik, Van Nostrand Reinhold
   [e-mail] (Mehmet M. Kayaalp MD)
12._Software Engineering_ by Stephen R. Schach, Aksen Associates
   (ISBN 0-256-08515-3); also Richard D. Irwin, Inc., 1990.
13._Practical Software Engineering_ by Stephen R. Schach, Aksen Associates
   and Richard D. Irwin Inc. (ISBN 0-256-11455-2), 1992. Advertised as
   sophomore through senior level, emphasizing teams, maintenance, reuse,
   CASE tools.

They do regular reviews of most of the literature relevant to testing, s-eng,
and management. The books which are deemed useful by the reviewers are
purchased for reselling. Their catalog includes most of the literature that
I've come across on Software Testing.  One of the items in the catalog is a
publication which the company puts together itself, The Testing Tools
Reference Guide, a sort of catalog of tools that have passed certain criteria,
(number of unit sold, at least three verifiable references, etc.) They charge
$145.00 for this guide.  This includes two bi-annual updates. I've found the
guide very useful in tracking down vendors which specialize in CASE and
testing tools, although it seems to be heavily biased towards IBM mainframe
hardware and COBOL programming (shudder!).  Each text is described and
summarized I'm sure SQE would be happy to send catalogs free of charge and
most of the prices seem reasonable.  - Glenn Stowe [e-mail]
