5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what i was looking for, March 1, 2006
Having to teach on a new lab course on Software Engineering, i desperately looked for a book that helps me organize the topics i have to teach. Since i have a programming background , i was not so interested in the implementation part, but wanted to know more on the other aspects of the development : designing,testing,maintaining,assesing quality.This book made me look no further. It is a comprehensive book that covers all these aspects, and the case study that it contains it is not too complicated so it can capture the attention of an average student in a SW undergraduate course. In solving this case study the author does not bind himself to a single solution, but proposes and evaluates different architectures.From an educational point of view it is a good textbook

4.0 out of 5 stars Good coverage on principles and the of software engineering., March 17, 2000
This review is from: Software Engineering (Hardcover)
This is one of the better academic books I've seen in this area. It has the basic stuff you'd expect, but the author also presents very good discussions on writing software specs. The appendix includes some IEEE standards on software documentation. A good book especially for software professionals and technical managers.

The section on software maintenance is excellent and would be a good (and not-too-technical) resource for product managers, marketing managers, project managers, and those involved with the software maintenance process -- something more complex and difficult than we usually think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for reference, April 28, 2009
By Richard Trinh (Arcadia, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Software Engineering Principles and Practice by Hans van Vliet is a good textbook which delves into the WHAT of software development, and takes a user through the normal Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) from requirements gathering to deployment in a production environment. And like good software, each chapter is loosely coupled allowing the reader to get more information on the topic of interest.

This book however does not go into details on the HOW, and was left me a little unsatisfied on best practices, and how to improve my skills as a software engineer.

This book is great for students as well as professionals involved in Software Engineering. It gives students an overview of what to expect in a software shop, but is more of a reference book for professionals to give a little further insight into the different aspects of the SDLC.
