Kind of OT - Books on software development?

[Matty Sarro]

Hey everyone,
I am looking at some projects coming up, which may or may not involve
python. So I figured I would throw the question out there and see what
everyone thinks.
I am looking for some books on software engineering/development...
something that discusses techniques from ideation, up through testing,
QA, production, and then maintenance. Is there such a book?
