Overview

Over the past few years, researchers working at AT&T Bell Laboratories have developed a set of powerful new tools and software libraries that significantly streamline the job of software development by enhancing software reuse. This one-of-a-kind practical guide supplies you with all of those cutting-edge software engineering tools and libraries, and the team that invented them walks you through the tools and their use. While some of them are still in prototype, all the tools and libraries described here are in day-to-day use. Written and edited by some of today's brightest software engineers, members of the Software Engineering Research Department of AT&T Bell Laboratories; describes a wide array of libraries, base tools, stand-alone tools, and connected systems; focuses on the four main categories of software architecture, reverse engineering, visualization, and process and extremely practical - throughout the emphasis is on software reusability and the connectivity and "openness" of the tools.

This one-of-a-kind practical guide supplies readers with all the cutting-edge software engineering tools and libraries and shows how to make full use of them in their own software development. Exclusive offer with book: Some software tools and libraries discussed are available via electronic mail, free of charge, from Bell Labs.
