Product Description
Product Description
For almost three decades, Roger Pressman's Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach has been the world's leading textbook in software engineering. The new seventh edition represents a major restructuring and update of previous editions, solidifying the book's position as the most comprehensive guide to this important subject.
The seventh edition of Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach has been designed to consolidate and restructure the content introduced over the past two editions of the book. The chapter structure will return to a more linear presentation of software engineering topics with a direct emphasis on the major activities that are part of a generic software process. Content will focus on widely used software engineering methods and will de-emphasize or completely eliminate discussion of secondary methods, tools and techniques. The intent is to provide a more targeted, prescriptive, and focused approach, while attempting to maintain SEPA's reputation as a comprehensive guide to software engineering.
The book will be organized in five (5) parts-Process, Modeling, Quality Management, Project Management, and Advanced Topics. The chapter count will remain at 32, unchanged from the sixth edition. However, eight new chapters have been developed and another six chapters have undergone major or moderate revisions. The remaining chapters have undergone minor edits/updates.

Format:Paperback
This book is easy to read while still being consise. It covers a lot of ground in materail very necassary to software engineering degrees, and infact any other computing course. This book has greatly helped me learn and revise the topics that were only briefly covered in lectures.

Format:Paperback
Pressman's book is a very good resource for budding software engineers, but it is not a book you can just pick up and start reading. The book relies on the fact that you know what he's talking about before you actually read it. A good book for students to use as a resource for coursework, but not the best book to revise from.

Format:Hardcover
An industry standard that no software professional can claim to be well-read without.
I was pleased to see (finally) the addition of two chapters on Formal Methods in Software Engineering. This was an unfortunate omission in the third edition that is now corrected.
The price is a bit overinflated, as with most texts on the subject.
Makes for an excellent companion, when compared and contrasted with other current industry texts.

It's good, but it's not that good.
A comprehensive book that covers a lot of fields in this diverse subject. It is well structured to guide you from newbie to guru, or at least it would if it was well written. Read more

Excellent for beginners and advanced users
A brilliant book. Well worth buying if you are considering a future in this field. Goes through at a nice pace. It's more of a bible than a book. Well worth buying.
