Software Engineering -- Advanced [PTG: AW PROFESSIONAL] (Computer Science)

 

Known as “the father of software quality,” Watts S. Humphrey is the author of numerous influential books on the software-development process and software process improvement. Humphrey is a fellow of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University, where he founded the Software Process Program and provided the vision and early leadership for the original Capability Maturity Model (CMM). He also is the creator of the Personal Software Process (PSP) and Team Software Process (TSP). Recently, he was awarded the National Medal of Technology—the highest honor given by the president of the United States to America's leading innovators.

Leaders of software-development projects face many challenges. First, you must produce a quality product on schedule and on budget. Second, you must foster and encourage a cohesive, motivated, and smoothly operating team. And third, you must maintain a clear and consistent focus on short- and long-term goals, while exemplifying quality standards and showing confidence and enthusiasm for your team and its efforts. Most importantly, as a leader, you need to feel and act responsible for your team and everything that it does.

Accomplishing all these goals in a way that is rewarding for the leader and the team--while producing the results that management wants--is the motivation behind the Team Software Process (TSP). Developed by renowned quality expert Watts S. Humphrey, TSP is a set of new practices and team concepts that helps developers take the CMM and CMMI Capability Maturity Models to the next level. Not only does TSP help make software more secure, it results in an average production gain of 68 percent per project. Because of their quality, timeliness, and security, TSP-produced products can be ten to hundreds of times better than other hardware or software.

In this essential guide to TSP, Humphrey uses his vast industry experience to show leaders precisely how to lead teams of software engineers trained in the Personal Software Process (PSP). He explores all aspects of effective leadership and teamwork, including building the right team for the job, the TSP launch process, following the process to produce a quality product, project reviews, and capitalizing on both the leader's and team's capabilities. Humphrey also illuminates the differences between an ineffective leader and a superb one with the objective of helping you understand, anticipate, and correct the most common leadership failings before they undermine the team.

An extensive set of appendices provides additional detail on TSP team roles and shows you how to use an organization's communication and command networks to achieve team objectives.

Whether you are a new or an experienced team leader, TSP^SM: Leading a Development Team provides invaluable examples, guidelines, and suggestions on how to handle the many issues you and your team face together.

This is an authoritative security handbook from the CERT Coordination Center, the oldest computer security response group in existence and part of the SEI Institute, and Carnegie Mellon University. With a practical, stepwise approach, the book shows students how to protect systems and networks against malicious and inadvertent compromise. The book is divided into two main parts, the first dealing with hardening and securing your system-preventing problems. The second part covers intrusion detection and response, recognizing that even the most secure networks and systems cannot protect against every conceivable threat. The practices selected for the book are based on CERT's extensive data on security breaches and vulnerabilities, providing an authoritative view of the most common problems that students will face as a system and network administrator.

Assessments are internal reviews aimed at making an organization better from

the inside, and they are critical tools for process improvement. The CMMI

(Capability Maturity Model Integration) is a U.S. government-sponsored model

to help organizations improve their processes, and perhaps more importantly,

demonstrate their level of process quality to vendors. Many organizations

adopt the CMMI because it is required in many government contracts. In order

to improve process, these organizations must first know their level of CMMI

maturity, but these organizations struggle in this assessment. This book spells

out the specific steps an organization must take to gather an accurate CMMI

assessment. The resulting assessment will help the organization improve their

processes and advance their level of CMMI maturity. The authors, noted

CMMI experts, use anecdotal histories of incidents they have encountered on

actual assessments to illustrate key teaching points.

The SEI Series in Software Engineering

This book demystifies the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration), introducing students to the key points behind this new initiative. The CMMI is a natural extension of the original CMM, showing the benefits of integrating an organization's process improvement initiative to touch areas beyond software (systems engineering, acquisition, human resources, etc.). The primary goal of the second edition is to paint a broad picture of the benefits of integrated process improvement in an easily-digestible format.

Part of The SEI Series in Software Engineering, this book offers a concise and

practical guide to the standard CMMI appraisal method. This method is very

important, as it is used to determine an organization's capability and maturity

levels (which are often used as criteria in awarding government and defenseoriented

bids). SCAMPI specifically stands for: The Standard CMMI Appraisal

Method for Process Improvement. These authors have considerable experience

in helping their organizations appraise their respective levels of maturity in

relation to the CMMI. In this handy new book, they impart their advice on not

only achieving an accurate assessment, but also what next steps need to be

taken for further process improvement.

This book describes a proven process, created at IBM, to develop software with zero to near-zero defects. The process, Cleanroom Software Engineering, created in response to the need for more reliable and more cost-effective software, combines engineering-based technologies in project management, object-based system certification, correctness verification, and statistical quality certification. The Cleanroom process enables organizations to make substantial improvements in their software development performance, and to gain thereby competitive advantage in both reliability and productivity. The authors, drawing on their own extensive experience in industry, elaborate in detail the Cleanroom development and certification process, and show how this process dovetails with the SEI's CMM. The book includes case studies and summaries of key Cleanroom practices that have been applied in industry, and contains extensive examples for practical skill building.

This book from Watts Humphrey broadens his disciplined approach to software engineering. In his earlier book, Managing the Software Process, Humphrey developed concrete methods for managing software development and maintenance. These methods, now commonly practiced, provide programmers and managers specific steps for evaluating and improving their software capabilities. In this book, he scales down those methods to a personal level, helping software practitioners develop the skills and habits they need to plan, track, and analyze large and complex projects more carefully and successfully.

This newest book from Watts Humphrey is a hands-on introduction to basic disciplines of software engineering. Designed as a workbook companion to any introductory programming or software-engineering text, Humphrey provides here the practical means to integrate his highly regarded Personal Software Process (PSP) into the undergraduate curriculum. Applying the book's exercises to course assignments, students learn both to manage their time effectively and to monitor the quality of their work, good practices they will need to be successful in their future careers. The book is supported by its own electronic supplement, which includes spreadsheets for data entry and analysis. A complete instructor's package is also available. By mastering PSP techniques early in their studies, students can avoid-or overcome-the popular "hacker" ethic that leads to so many bad habits. Employers will appreciate new hires prepared to do competent professional work without, as now is common, expensive retraining and years of experience.

Watts Humphrey is the visionary behind the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and the Personal Software Process (PSP). The CMM contains a framework for software process improvement at the organizational level. The PSP builds the self-discipline needed for individual programmers to work efficiently and effectively. The author's new Team Software Process (TSP) details methods that should guide the formation of a software development team and that will enhance the team's productivity.

This book describes an introductory version of TSP, ideal for smaller projects but also useful for learning basic forms and procedures that apply to other development projects. Methods presented include: how to establish roles; how to conceive, design, and plan a project; and how to track and report on progress. The book walks students through a complete development cycle, illustrating: how best to use the talents at hand; how to formulate well-defined goals; how to coordinate activities for maximum progress; how to promote effective communication; and how to alleviate many of the conflicts that undermine teamwork.

The book provides two project exercises, with prescribed development goals and team roles, to help students master this proven process.

Risk bears the potential that problems will occur, and risk is inherent in the development of any large software system. Some specific risks arise from the nature of the product being developed-for example, if the product is complex, or if testing is not feasible. Other risks flow from the development project itself-for example, if requirements change, or if cost or schedule constraints are imposed. A common approach to risk in software development is to ignore it, and hope that no serious problems occur; another is to respond to problems only if and when they occur. A more useful approach, however, and one with which some leading software development companies have been able to minimize and combat risks, is to use formal, quantitative risk-management techniques and processes. These techniques and processes are the subject of this book. Foreword by Tom DeMarco.

Secure Coding in C and C++ provides practical advice on safe practices in C and

C++ programming. Producing secure programs requires secure designs.

However, even the best designs can lead to insecure programs if developers are

unaware of the many security pitfalls inherent in C and C++ programming.

This book provides a detailed explanation of common programming errors in

C and C++ and describes how these errors can lead to code that is vulnerable

to exploitation. In particular, this book concentrates on security issues intrinsic

to the C and C++ programming languages and associated libraries. The intent

is that this book be useful to anyone involved in developing secure C and C++

programs regardless of the specific application.

**By targeting the C/C++ languages, this book focuses on the largest pie of

developers. There are specific pieces of information that can also help people

in other roles such as system analysis and project management. The content of

this book can also serve as a very good reference for programming courses at

various universities.

This book describes and documents the PSP (Personal Software Process) for

individual software developers, and introduces them to the TSP (Team

Software Process) for teams. With examples and data drawn from real-world

development projects, it shows how developers can better manage and

dramatically improve their personal software process. In doing so,

organizations become better able to deliver defect-free software on time and

under budget.

In short, this book is the industrial version of the author's Incredibly influential

"A Discipline for Software Engineering." It build upon and modernizes that

text (as well as Humphrey's previous PSP and TSP books) to present a

contemporary and completely updated approach toward the highly important

topic of software process improvement.
