Software Engineering Environments: Automated Support for Software Engineering (McGraw Hill International Series in Software Engineering)

This book crosses the boundary between database systems and software engineering,providing an introduction to the background use and likely direction of computer-aided support to software engineering. It describes a simple IPSE reference model,which acts as a focal point for discussing the principles of IPSE's and the yardstick for comparing existing IPSE systems. The book analyses the characteristics of a support environment for large-scale software development and work in detail at a number of example IPSE systems and examines the support they provide.
