Summary
Using the proposed SEMAT Object Management Group standard, development organizations can "re-found" software engineering based on solid theory, proven principles, and best practices that have earned wide support. Using SEMAT, they can address both technology and human issues, while achieving easy extensibility to support diverse uses, changing requirements, and new technologies. In The Essence of Software Engineering, a team of key SEMAT pioneers introduce this new standard, explaining how it defines a common ground for more agile and effective software development. Led by Ivar Jacobson, one of this generation's most influential software innovators, they fully introduce both elements of SEMAT: the kernel, encompassing Requirements, Software System, Team, Work, other key elements of software projects, and their states, and can be used by practitioners to make better choices about how they develop software systems; ahe language,defining syntax and semantics for organizing and composing practices and methods. For all software engineering practitioners, including architects, designers, developers, testers, requirements engineers, process engineers, and project managers.
Author Biography
Dr. Ivar Jacobson, one of the prime movers behind SEMAT, is the principal author of six books, including, with Pan-Wei Ng, Aspect-Oriented Software Development with Use Cases (Addison-Wesley, 2005). Dr. Pan-Wei Ng has multiple roles within Ivar Jacobson International, including the definition of best practices in architecture, use cases, and iterative development. Paul E. McMahon, principal of PEM Systems, is the author of Integrating CMMI and Agile Development (Addison-Wesley, 2011). Ian Spence, CTO and Chief Scientist at Ivar Jacobson International, is the coauthor of Managing Iterative Software Development Projects (Addison-Wesley, 2007). Svante Lidman has more than twenty years of experience in software development, primarily working with software development processes and related tooling.
