3.0 out of 5 stars Hard work for non-tekkies, but worth the effort, 18 April 2002
I had been working in the software industry for a few years as a usability consultant on web sites, and also as a producer and project manager. I have never had any formal IT training, but I’ve picked stuff up along the way. I was keen to understand the best practices and different options in software engineering so that I, as a “non-technical” person, could understand and questions the decisions my technical colleagues were making. I don’t want to seem as though I picking on developers, but I have seen many times that developers use a secret language amongst themselves which excludes non-technical people. The frequently ends up with software being developed that does not fit the non-technical people’s requirement. Although I found this book very hard to read, I have learnt an enormous amount from it. I am now able to help steer the software engineering process in way that will ensure that the business requirements are achieved.

I wish I had read this book earlier. I have seen projects spiral out of control because they failed to observe elementary software best practises described in chapters 1 and 2 of this book.

Thanks to this book, I am now a “slightly technical” person who understands most of what my developers are talking about, for which I am grateful. I found the book very hard work, but I imagine that was so because I am most likely not the intended audience. I would recommend the book to colleagues who are sick of being unable to question or understand their developers, and want to understand why their software projects keep turning into disasters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good! Just a little hard to wade through!, 12 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Having used this book as the main text for a final year undergrad. course, i have to say it's pretty good! Very comprehensive, but does waffle on in places; you will most definitely find yourself banging your head against the wall after failing to comprehend the chapter you have just read for the 7th time! Still, very good as a reference. Recommended !

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sound reading, if a little hard to swallow, 25 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach (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.
