E-raamat: Building Software: A Practitioner's Guide

With the idea in mind that building software is a relatively safe and simple process, and that there is a solution for every problem, this takes new developers and those who wish to upgrade their skills for better results through a framework known as Solution Engineering Execution (SEE). With this methodology, the authors claim, practitioners can find a good solution for the problem at hand, focus on engineering the solution well and address all aspects of delivery associated with the solution while aligning software development with business strategy. They provide cross-domain and legacy solutions, covering failures, systems, strategies, requirements, architecture and design, data and information, life cycles, the semantics of process-off-the-shelf software, customization, migration, quality and testing, communication, documentation, and security, The glossary is particularly good and fills in beginners' gaps in knowledge without talking down to them.

Novel in its approach to software design, development, and management, Building Software: A Practitioner's Guide shows you how to successfully build and manage a system. The approach the authors recommend is a simple, effective framework known as Solution Engineering Execution (SEE).

Through SEE, you create a successful solution by following a highly organized, well-planned process. This process makes you view the solution from a holistic, systematic perspective.

Developing a successful system requires that you are able to address technology matters related to architecture, design, selection, integration, and security. Building Software: A Practitioner's Guide offers insight into how to make software reliable and how to ensure it meets customer and organizational needs.

Using the above approach you are able to:

• Find a good solution to the problem at hand
• Focus on engineering the solution well
• Address all aspects of delivery associated with the solution
  

The book provides insightful examples of cross-domain and legacy solutions that allow you to overcome common software concerns such as requirement issues, change control, quality and schedule management, and internal and external communication problems.
