For more than 3 decades, Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach has been the best-selling guide to software engineering for students and industry professionals alike.
In its eighth edition, the book has again been revised and redesigned, undergoing a substantial content update that addresses new topics in what many have called “the engineering discipline of the 21st-century.” Entertaining and informative sidebars and marginal content have been expanded and make the book still easier-to-use in the classroom and as a self-study guide.
Four new chapters, emphasizing software security and the unique challenges of developing software for mobile applications, have been added to this edition. In addition, new content has been added to many other chapters. The eighth edition is organized into 5 parts:
• Part 1, The Software Process, presents both prescriptive and agile process models.
• Part 2, Modeling, presents modern analysis and design methods with an emphasis on you UML-based modeling.
• Part 3, Quality Management, addresses all aspects of software testing and quality assurance, formal verification techniques, and change management.
• Part 4, Managing Software Projects, presents software topics that are relevant to those who plan, manage, and control a software project.
• Part 5, Advanced Topics, presents dedicated chapters that address software process improvement and future software engineering trends.
