Software Engineering:(Update)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.  |

Features |
- Covers all the latest developments on software engineering, keeping readers up-to-date.
- Core structure built around the key software engineering activities of specification, design, development, verification and validation and management, makes the subject even easier to grasp and gives students a clear understanding of how these important topics work together.
- 2 integrated, contrasting case studies flow through the text, continuously giving practical context and examples for topics discussed.
- Introduces management issues such as project planning early in the book, allowing it to be used in a project based course (where this material should be covered early).
- Discussion on systems engineering explains the role of software and why systems are more than just software.
- Significant coverage of requirements and architectural design emphasizing their importance in the overall SE process.
- Program examples in Java.
- Graphical system models in standard UML.
- Author website features Instructors Guide, solutions to problems, links to additional material, additional case study material and additional projects.
- 3 new chapters on System Security Engineering, Aspect-oriented Software Development, and Service-oriented systems.

SOMMERVILLE Software Engineering 8 The eighth edition of the best-selling introduction to software engineering is now updated with three new chapters on state-of-the-art topics. New chapters in the 8th edition Ø Security engineering, showing youhow you can design software to resist attacks and recover from damage; Ø Service-oriented software engineering, explaininghow reusable web services can be used to develop new applications; Ø Aspect-oriented software development, introducing new techniques based on the separation of concerns. Key features Ø Includes the latest developments in software engineering theory and practice, integrated with relevant aspects of systems engineering. Ø Extensive coverage ofagile methods andreuse. Ø Integrated coverage of system safety, security and reliability – illustrating best practice in developing critical systems. Ø Two running case studies (an information system and a control system) illuminate different stages of thesoftware lifecycle.
