Welcome to comp.software-eng, a newsgroup for discussion of software
engineering and related topics. This message is followed by four others, each
summarizing a set of "frequently asked questions" (FAQs):
Comp.software-eng FAQ (Part 1): questions and answers
Comp.software-eng FAQ (Part 2): CASE tools summary
Comp.software-eng FAQ (Part 3): readings
Comp.software-eng FAQ (Part 4): CASE tool vendors
Be warned: the only mechanism we use to compose these lists is to gather
information submitted by people around the net, post it regularly, and
incorporate feedback. All evaluations are the opinions of those who submitted
them; your mileage may vary. Send comments to dalamb@spamcop.net (David Alex
Lamb).

Many FAQs, including this one, are available on the archive site rtfm.mit.edu
in the directory pub/usenet/news.answers. The name under which a FAQ is
archived appears in the Archive-name line at the top of the article. This
FAQ, and the parts that follow, are archived as software-eng/part0 through
software-eng/part4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Textbooks
Date: 6 Dec 1997
Originally collected by: hsrender@happy.colorado.edu (Hal Render)
The first 8 items are Hal Render's original list in his rough order of prefer*
ence.

1. Software Engineering: The Production of Quality Software by Shari Pfleeger,
2nd Edition, Macmillan, 1991, ISBN 0-02-395115-X.
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #2&#3, had the best explanations of what
I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods, and tools).
2. Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach by Roger Pressman, 4th
Edition, McGraw-Hill, 1996, ISBN 0070521824
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: (on 2nd edition): Like #1&#3, had the best
explanations of what I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles,
methods, and tools).
robb@iotek.uucp (Robb Swanson): The definitive book on the subject as far
as I'm concerned.
johnson@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu (Michelle Johnson): A good text book as well as
reference.
3. Software Systems Engineering by Andrew Sage and James D. Palmer.
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #1&#2, had the best explanations of what
I want to cover (different engineering lifecycles, methods, and tools).
4. Fundamentals of Software Engineering by Ghezzi, Jayazeri and Mandrioli,
Prentice-Hall, 1991
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #5, good, and covered the issue of
specifications and verification better, but at the expense of other
aspects of the development process. I may use one of them for a graduate
course in software engineering.
nancy@murphy.ICS.UCI.EDU (Nancy Leveson): Better than Sommerville, although
I like much of Sommerville.
5. Software Engineering with Abstractions by Valdis Berzins and Luqi, Addison
Wesley, 1991, 624 pages.
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #4, good, and covered the issue
of specifications and verification better, but at the expense of other
aspects of the development process. I may use one of them for a graduate
course in software engineering.
straub@cs.UMD.EDU (Pablo A. Straub): Both this and #9 have a good emphasis
on using formal techniques (i.e., doing engineering properly), but they
do not disregard informal methods; chapters are roughly organized around
the traditional lifecycle. #5 is longer and can be used in a two-term
sequence or for graduate students (it's possible to use it in a one-
term undergrad course by covering only part of the material). One thing I
like is that management and validation is given in all chapters, so that
these activities are integrated into the development process. Emphasizes
the use of formally specified abstractions. Uses the authors'
specification language (Spec) to develop a project in Ada.
6. Software Engineering by Ian Sommerville, Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-17568-1
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Our current text, and my basic problem with it
is the vague way it covers many of the topics.
7. Software Engineering with Student Project Guidance by Barbara Mynatt
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #8, not bad, but fairly low-level and
doesn't cover many tools and techniques I consider valuable.
8. Software Engineering by Roger Jones
hsrender@happy.colorado.edu: Like #7, not bad, but fairly low-level and
doesn't cover many tools and techniques I consider valuable.
9. Software Engineering: Planning for Change by David Alex Lamb, Prentice-
Hall, 1988, 298 pages.
straub@cs.UMD.EDU (Pablo A. Straub): Both this and #5 have a good emphasis
on using formal techniques (i.e., doing engineering properly), but they
do not disregard informal methods; chapters are roughly organized around
the traditional lifecycle. #9 has the advantage of being shorter, yet
covering most relevant topics (lifecycle phases, formal specs, v&v,
configurations, management, etc.). It is very appropriate for an
undergrad course. It emphasizes that maintenance is a given and should
be taken into account (hence the title). Several specification
techniques are covered and used to develop a project in Pascal.
10. A Practical Handbook for Software Development by N.D. Birrell and M.A.
Ould, Cambridge University Press, 1985/88. ISBN 0-521-34792-0 (Paper
cover); ISBN 0-521-25462-0 (Hard cover).
ewoods@hemel.bull.co.uk (Eoin Woods):
11. Fundamentals of Computing for Software Engineers by Eric S. Chan & Murat M.
Tanik, Van Nostrand Reinhold.
kayaalp@csvax.seas.smu.edu (Mehmet M. Kayaalp MD):
12. Classic and Object-Oriented Software Engineering, 3rd Edition, by Stephen
R. Schach, Richard D. Irwin, Inc. (ISBN 0-256-18298-1), 1996. Advertised
as senior/first year graduate level, emphasizing the object-oriented
paradigm, metrics, CASE tools, testing, and maintenance.
13. Practical Software Engineering by Stephen R. Schach, Aksen Associates and
Richard D. Irwin Inc. (ISBN 0-256-11455-2), 1992. Advertised as sophomore
through senior level, emphasizing teams, maintenance, reuse, CASE tools.

Software Quality Engineering has a publication division called Single Source,
Publications, Books, and Information for Software Practitioners and Managers:

They do regular reviews of most of the literature relevant to testing, s-eng,
and management. The books which are deemed useful by the reviewers are
purchased for reselling. Their catalog includes most of the literature that
I've come across on Software Testing. One of the items in the catalog is a
publication which the company puts together itself, The Testing Tools
Reference Guide, a sort of catalog of tools that have passed certain criteria,
(number of unit sold, at least three verifiable references, etc.) They charge
$145.00 for this guide. This includes two bi-annual updates. I've found the
guide very useful in tracking down vendors which specialize in CASE and
testing tools, although it seems to be heavily biased towards IBM mainframe
hardware and COBOL programming (shudder!). Each text is described and
summarized I'm sure SQE would be happy to send catalogs free of charge and
most of the prices seem reasonable. - Glenn Stowe glenn8@odie.cs.mun.ca

Comp.software-eng FAQ (Part 4): CASE tool vendors

Last-Modified: 6 Apr 2003
Archive-name: software-eng/part4
URL: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/FAQs/SE/vendor.html
Version: vendor,v 2.75 2003/03/26 14:21:09 dalamb Exp dalamb

This is a list of contact information for CASE tool vendors, maintained at the
Software Technology Laboratory, Department of Computing and Information
Science, Queen's University.

It was originally compiled by Scott Marcus and Theo Heavey, formerly
of the CASE Research group, Dept. of Computer Science, Florida
Atlantic University; under the Florida Industry High Technology
Council, and funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
After they lost their funding for this list in 1991, the only way
we've been able to keep it up to date is if people volunteer to tell
us what needs to change.

Please e-mail corrections to dalamb@spamcop.net.
