Written by a world-renowned expert on
programming methodology, and the winner of the 2008 Turing
Award, this book shows how to build production-quality
programs--programs that are reliable, easy to maintain, and quick
to modify. Its emphasis is on modular program construction: how to
get the modules right and how to organize a program as a collection
of modules. The book presents a methodology effective for either an
individual programmer, who may be writing a small program or a
single module in a larger one; or a software engineer, who...

requirement “patterns” offering realistic examples for
situation-specific guidance for building effective software
requirements. Each pattern explains what a requirement needs to
convey, offers potential questions to ask, points out potential
pitfalls, suggests extra requirements, and other advice. This book
also provides guidance on how to write other kinds of information
that belong in a requirements specification, such as assumptions, a
glossary, and document history and...

4. |  More About Software Requirements: Thorny Issues and Practical Advice By: Karl E. Wiegers Publisher: Microsoft Press Publication Date: 17-JAN-2006 Insert Date: 04-OCT-2006 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: More About Software Requirements: Thorny Issues and Practical Advice Have you ever delivered software that satisfied all of the project
specifications, but failed to meet any of the customers'
expectations? Without formal, verifiable requirements--and a system
for managing them--the result is often a gap between what
developers think they're supposed to build and what customers think
they're going to get. Too often, lessons about software
requirements engineering processes are formal or academic, and not
of value to real-world, professional development teams. In MORE

5. |  Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art By: Steve McConnell Publisher: Microsoft Press Publication Date: 01-MAR-2006 Insert Date: 13-SEP-2006 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art Often referred to as the "black art" because of its complexity and
uncertainty, software estimation is not as hard or mysterious as
people think. However, the art of how to create effective cost and
schedule estimates has not been very well publicized. While the
average software organization can struggle with project costs that
run double their original estimates, some of the more sophisticated
organizations achieve results with estimation errors as low as
5-10%. These best-in-class organizations use scientific techniques
that are not cost-effective, however, making them of limited use...

6. |  Mastering the Requirements Process, Second Edition By: Suzanne Robertson; James Robertson Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Publication Date: 17-MAR-2006 Insert Date: 20-APR-2006 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Mastering the Requirements Process, Second Edition "If the purpose is to create one of the best books on
requirements yet written, the authors have succeeded."
—Capers Jones
It is widely recognized that incorrect requirements account for
up to 60 percent of errors in software products, and yet the
majority of software development organizations do not have a formal
requirements process. Many organizations appear willing to spend
huge amounts on fixing and altering poorly specified software, but
seem unwilling to invest a much smaller amount to get the
requirements right in the first place.

early aspects."
—Ron Bodkin, Chief Technology Officer, New Aspects of
Software
"Aspect-orientation is a powerful approach for programming
complex systems. There is a lot to be gained from applying this
approach during modeling and designing, as well. The Theme approach
in this book represents an important advancement in AOP adoption...
