For almost four decades this textbook has been the worlds leading book in software engineering. The ninth edition represents a major restructuring and update of previous editions, solidifying the books position as the most comprehensive guide to this important subject. A reduction in the amount of survey content and an emphasis on a more prescriptive approach have resulted in a crisp book, making it stronger from a pedagogical viewpoint and less daunting for the reader who desires to journey through the entire book. The chapters have been restructured and organized with a direct emphasis on the major activities that are part of a generic software process. The intent is to provide a more targeted, prescriptive, and focused approach while maintaining the books reputation as a comprehensive guide to software engineering. Salient Features:1.Covers the basic aspects of software engineering in details.2.Section clustering based on instructors requirement is available.3.Boxed features throughout the textbook included to present the trials and tribulations of a (fictional) software team and to provide supplementary materials about methods and tools that are relevant to chapter topics.
