Cleanroom software engineering is a process for developing and certifying high-reliability software. Combining theory-based engineering technologies in project management, incremental development, software specification and design, correctness verification, and statistical quality certification, the Cleanroom process answers today's call for more reliable software and provides methods for more cost-effective software development. Cleanroom originated with Harlan D. Mills, an IBM Fellow and a visionary in software engineering. Written by colleagues of Mills and some of the most experienced developers and practitioners of Cleanroom, Cleanroom Software Engineering provides a roadmap for software management, development, and testing as disciplined engineering practices. This book serves both as an introduction for those new to Cleanroom and as a reference guide for the growing practitioner community. Readers will discover a proven way to raise both quality and productivity in their software-intensive products, while reducing costs. Highlights Explains basic Cleanroom theory Introduces the sequence-based specification method Elaborates the full management, development, and certification process in a Cleanroom Reference Model (CRM) Shows how the Cleanroom process dovetails with the SEI's Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM) Includes a large case study to illustrate how Cleanroom methods scale up to large projects.

Software Process Improvement (SPI) efforts are being undertaken by organizations of all types and sizes as they attempt to deal with the challenges of quality, complexity and competitiveness. Software process improvement efforts rely on the successful integration of many technical, organizational and methodological issues. SPI has provided a rich field for both conceptual and practical research in industry and academia. Software Process Improvement: Concepts and Practices provides the opportunity for rich socio-technical and interdisciplinary studies in addition to those studies that primarily focus on process and/or enabling technology issues. This book addresses numerous aspects of SPI program development, implementation, trends, opportunities and future challenges in organizations.

This revised edition of Software Engineering-Principles and Practices has become more comprehensive with the inclusion of several topics. The book now offers a complete understanding of software engineering as an engineering discipline. Like its previous edition, it provides an in-depth coverage of fundamental principles, methods and applications of software engineering. In addition, it covers some advanced approaches including Computer-aided Software Engineering (CASE), Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE), Clean-room Software Engineering (CSE) and formal methods. Taking into account the needs of both students and practitioners, the book presents a pragmatic picture of the software engineering methods and tools. A thorough study of the software industry shows that there exists a substantial difference between classroom study and the practical industrial application. Therefore, earnest efforts have been made in this book to bridge the gap between theory and practical applications. The subject matter is well supported by examples and case studies representing the situations that one actually faces during the software development process. The book meets the requirements of students enrolled in various courses both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, such as BCA, BE, BTech, BIT, BIS, BSc, PGDCA, MCA, MIT, MIS, MSc, various DOEACC levels and so on. It will also be suitable for those software engineers who abide by scientific principles and wish to expand their knowledge. With the increasing demand of software, the software engineering discipline has become important in education and industry. This thoughtfully organized second edition of the book provides its readers a profound knowledge of software engineering concepts and principles in a simple, interesting and illustrative manner.

Formal methods are mathematically-based techniques, often supported by reasoning tools, that can offer a rigorous and effective way to model, design and analyze computer systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate international industrial experience in using formal methods. The cases selected are representative of industrial-grade projects and span a variety of application domains. The study had three main objectives: · To better inform deliberations within industry and government on standards and regulations; · To provide an authoritative record on the practical experience of formal methods to date; and À To suggest areas where future research and technology development are needed. This study was undertaken by three experts in formal methods and software engineering: Dan Craigen of ORA Canada, Susan Gerhart of Applied Formal Methods, and Ted Ralston of Ralston Research Associates. Robin Bloomfield of Adelard was involved with the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station Shutdown System case. Support for this study was provided by organizations in Canada and the United States. The Atomic Energy Control Board of Canada (AECB) provided support for Dan Craigen and for the technical editing provided by Karen Summerskill. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratories (NRL), Washington, DC, provided support for all three authors. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provided support for Ted Ralston.
