Highly regarded for the clear, concise and compelling style of the previous two editions, Software System Development is updated in this new third edition to include the latest developments in software modelling and system capabilities. Rather than focusing on a specific software title, the authors explain the theories which are true for any system, and so provide a solid and structured background for aspiring software developers to build upon. With a new design and new features within the text, Software Systems Development is now even easier to follow and the examples and exercises are also been restructured to improve the knowledge flow to the student. This book takes a very accessible approach to systems analysis and design, suitable for Computer Science students on any introductory course, or for those coming from other disciplines with an interest in software development. The ‘just-a-line’ case study which runs throughout the book takes a clear line from systems design, through development to implementation and release and provides coverage of Project Management techniques and testing and crisis management. Carol Britton is a principal lecturer in computer science at the University of Hertfordshire. Jill Doake is a senior lecturer in computer science at Anglia Polytechnic University. As well as the two previous editions of this book they have written other texts together including Object-Oriented Systems Development: A Gentle Introduction.
