Product Description
- Software Engineering
- presents a broad perspective on software systems engineering, concentrating on widely-used techniques for developing large-scale software systems. This best-selling book covers a wide spectrum of software processes from initial requirements elicitation through design and development to system evolution. It supports students taking undergraduate and graduate courses in software engineering.
- The sixth edition has been restructured and updated, important new topics have been added and obsolete material has been cut. Reuse now focuses on component-based development and patterns; object-oriented design has a process focus and uses the UML; the chapters on requirements have been split to cover the requirements themselves and requirements engineering process; cost estimation has been updated to include the COCOMO 2 model.

Format:Hardcover
This is a good book to cover the fundamentals of this important area. I have found the advice to be practical and the book has been useful since I left education and began working as a professional software developer. The sections on requirements gathering etc. only become useful on real projects. You should read this in conjuction with Code Complete.

I believe it's the best book for Software Engineering. I had the fifth version and I believe that this release is more adapted to the new technologies used in our days in Software Engineering like UML and RUP. Also Ian sommerville is know as the reference in these fields.

I am not from a formal software engineering background but have been programming for about 6 years. I've decided to do an M.Sc. in Software Engineering and found this book an excellent introduction into the subject. It is clear and well written, if only all I.T. related books could claim this. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good starting point. It provides the opportunity to explore the subject areas in more detail as "Further Reading" is recommended throughout.

Nice read
I like this book. It's worth every penny. Most of the information in it is timeless so even a decade old print is good. I've been taking it with me for coffee as leisure reading. Read more

This book is to hard for me to understand...
This book is to hard for me to understand, it's has difficult concepts to learn, such as UML, I can't do UML. I will invest in an easier to understand book.
