The ninth edition of Software Engineering presents a broad perspective of software engineering, focusing on the processes and techniques fundamental to the creation of reliable, software systems. Increased coverage of agile methods and software reuse, along with coverage of 'traditional' plan-driven software engineering, gives readers the most up-to-date view of the field currently available. Practical case studies, a full set of easy-to-access supplements, and extensive web resources make teaching the course easier than ever.
The book is now structured into four parts:

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2018Although the book is a used book, the overall condition is excellent, definitely worth the money!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2015One of the best software engineering books out there.
Used for studies and still being used in the real world. Highly recommend.

Jeff W. HuberReviewed in the United States on 13 November 20115.0 out of 5 stars An excellent summary of modern Software Engineering
Wow - this book deserves more stars than it has! This is an excellent overview of the major topics in Software Engineering as they exist at the end of 2011. Most topics are covered at a level of detail that major ideas are introduced and explained in a way that provides both understanding to students and actionable information to industry developers. If you want more information on a topic, at the end of each chapter is a Further Reading section that points to some of the best resources in Software Engineering. Showing this books value, this book is referenced numerous times in the IEEE's Software Engineering Body of Knowledge. I believe it's referenced more than any other source.
I have both the 8th and 9th editions of this book. The 9th contains well-thought out updates, and I'd encourage those considering editions to use the latest edition.

Armando C. EchabarriaReviewed in the United States on 30 April 20165.0 out of 5 stars Great Text for Gaining Software Engineering Knowledge.
Exactly what I needed for class and no need to wait to get it from the school. I was very happy to see that this book was in great condition even though it was a fraction of the cost the college was going to charge me. The means within this book are well illustrated and offer an informed perspective. This book is a must if you plan on beginning a software or developer field.
