Object-Oriented Software Engineering: An Agile Unified Methodology by David Kung presents a step-by-step methodology that integrates modeling and design, UML, patterns, test-driven development, quality assurance, configuration management, and agile principles throughout the life cycle. The overall approach is casual and easy to follow, with many practical examples that show the theory at work. The author uses his experiences as well as realworld stories to help the reader understand software design principles, patterns, and other software engineering concepts. The book also provides stimulating exercises that go far beyond the type of question that can be answered
by simply copying portions of the text.

Salient Feature:
-Teaches a methodology - Most books teach a process, but this only describes WHAT the life cycle activities are. A methodology details the steps and procedures or HOW to perform the activities to the extent that the beginner can carry them out and produce the desired software system.
- Covers design patterns using a learn-by-compare approach
- Covers Object-Oriented software testing
