Description

Features

• Covers the latest, key developments in software engineering. The core structure of the text is built around the key software engineering activities of specification, design, development, verification, validation, and management.
• Two integrated, contrasting case studies flow through the text, continuously giving practical context and examples for topics discussed.
• Management issues such as project planning are introduced early, allowing them to be used in a project-based course.
• Significant coverage of requirements and architectural design emphasizes their importance in the overall SE process.
• Graphical system models in standard UML.

New To This Edition

• The major change in this edition is the move from a print-only book to a hybrid print/web book with the web material tightly integrated with the sections in the book. This has reduced the number of chapters in the book and allows the author to focus on core material in each chapter.
• Complete restructuring to make it easier to use the book in teaching software engineering. The book now has four rather than eight parts and each part may be used on its own or in combination with other parts as the basis of a software engineering course. The four parts are an introduction to software engineering, dependability and security, advanced software engineering and software engineering management.
• Several topics from previous editions are presented more concisely in a single chapter, with extra material moved onto the Web.
• Additional web chapters, based on chapters from previous editions that are not included in the ninth edition, are available on the Web.
• The content in all chapters is updated and revised. Approximately 30-40% of the text is completely rewritten.
• New chapters on agile software development and embedded systems are included.
• New material on model-driven engineering, open source development, test-driven development, Reason’s Swiss Cheese model, dependable systems architectures, static analysis and model checking, COTS reuse, software as a service, and agile planning.
• A new case study on a patient record system for patients who are undergoing treatment for mental health problems is used in several chapters.

Previous Edition(s)

• Software Engineering: (Update), 8/E
  Sommerville
  ©2006  |  Addison-Wesley  |  Cloth; 864 pp  |  Out of Print
  ISBN-10: 0321313798  |  ISBN-13: 9780321313799
    Brief Description  | 

  

  “Sensible choice and organization of topics, made all the more authoritative by the author’s credentials as a senior academic in the area” Prof. David S. Rosenblum, University College London

  “I find Somerville inviting and readable and with more appropriate content” Julian Padget, University of Bath

  “Sommerville takes case studies from radically different areas of SE. This avoids excessive stereotyping (hence blinkering), but permits some depth and detail.” Dr C Lester, Portsmouth University

   

  Software Engineering 8 presents a broad perspective on software systems engineering, concentrating on widely used techniques for developing large-scale systems.

   

  Structured into 6 parts:

  1: Introduction; 2: Requirements Engineering; 3: Design; 4: Software Development; 5: Verification and Validation; 6: Management

  … And now with additional new chapters on System Security Engineering, Aspect-oriented Software Development, and Service-oriented systems!

   

  Building on the widely acclaimed strengths of the 7th edition, 8 updates readers with the latest developments in the field, whilst maintaining the structure and content of the 7th – easily upward compatible for those using the text in a teaching environment.
