(this second edition).
A Resource for the Practicing Software Engineer (regardless of
implementation language) and the Practicing Ada Developer:
For the Practicing Software Engineer:
. Best practices in Software Engineering
. Index of useful web sites (with 17,000+ hyperlinks
to them directly from the CDROM)
. Systems Engineering Capability Maturity Model
. Software Capability Maturity Model
. Hundreds of documents and tutorials on various topics
in Software Engineering, including
Domain Engineering, Reuse, Requirements,
Object-Oriented Analysis and Design,
Object-Oriented Programming, Software Devleopment
Methodologies (Waterfall, Spiral, Rapid Application
Development), Formal Methods, Cleanroom,
Complexity Analysis, Metrics, Capability
Maturity, Six Sigma, Personal Software Process,
Team Software Process (with this May 1999 edition,
new courseware on systems engineering, life cycles,
requirements engineering, configuration management,
risk management, reviews, and several other topics)
. General-purpose tools (such as GRASP - Graphical
