Product Description

Product 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars I didn't like it!, 11 Aug 2008
By B. Boraei - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am currently studying my Masters in IT, with the speciality of Software Engineering. Since I study online, this is the textbook provided to us as our reference to do our reading. I thought - from the book's title - that I had the perfect book!
With all due respect to the author (Ian Sommerville), I did not like it. It was nicely divided into 3 appropriate sections, but many of its chapters referred to examples and explanations in later (or even previous) chapters. I read alot of "more on this in chapter **" or "the example in figure x.ii" (when we are reading in later chapters). Many of my colleagues also complained about the book. I had to go back and forth between the chapters to understand what is being said (after having read each paragraph a couple of times). That is besides the examples not being too informative. Alot of times, I had to research the topic and examples online. I had read a few online papers by Ian Sommerville, and I believe he could've written the book much better!

1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere, 27 April 2009
This is an overbroad introduction to the field. Practiculey none of the techniques mentioned in this book are of use to 90% of organisations. If you are looking for good, practicle, non-trivial books on the subject look up Craig Larmen.
