In this book the author has covered almost all the topics in software engineering which includes types of software projects, their execution models, software development life cycles (SDLC), different development models like Waterfall, Iterative, Incremental, Spiral, Agile and Test Driven Development (TDD). He has covered in depth software requirements including business requirement documents (BRD), functional requirement documents (FRD), software requirement specifications (SRS), what makes a good specifications, software analysis, design and architecture covering structured system analysis and design method (SSADM), object oriented analysis and design (OOAD) methodology, unified modelling language (UML) and UML diagrams, design patterns, software architecture types like layered, microservices, serverless, even driven architecture.

Usability and user experience (UX) chapter covers all important aspects of usability engineering and steps in usability. Chapters on quality and quality systems describe attributes of quality and quality systems like ISO 9001, SEI CMMI. Software testing chapter covers details of software testing, types of testing, testing models etc. Details of configuration management, release management, risk management, software support, project management and methodologies are covered in detail. Details on what makes a good project manager and project management organization are also covered in detail. Chapter on software estimation is very detailed and covers various estimation techniques, like Agile estimation, class based simplified estimation for OOAD systems, function point analysis, Mark II, COCOMO etc.

Templates for various artifacts are also listed and will be useful for the software engineering work. The book covers five interesting case studies and learnings from them from author own practical experience while executing software projects and product development. The author has also given interesting eighteen exercises for developing a new software system covering all the topics in software engineering. Lot of useful data is also shared which will be very useful for students, teachers and practitioner.
