Features: Since its first edition in 1982, this book has been highly regarded in the field of software engineering and has become an important teaching reference for software engineering courses in computer science at universities. Over the past 20+ years, its subsequent editions have remained familiar reading for software professionals. It has received widespread praise from readers for its comprehensive and systematic, as well as concise and clear introduction to the concepts, principles, methods, and tools of software engineering. Additionally, the book presents traditional, deeply influential methods while appropriately introducing emerging, vibrant new technologies. The 6th edition of the book consists of 32 chapters, divided into five parts, each corresponding to a specific topic:
Part I: Software Process introduces different perspectives on software processes, considering all important process models and involving debates between traditional and (recently developed) agile processes in terms of guiding principles.
Part II: Software Engineering Practice provides analysis, design, and testing methods, with a focus on object-oriented techniques and UML modeling.
Part III: Applying Web Engineering offers a comprehensive engineering approach to the analysis, design, and testing of web application systems.
Part IV: Software Project Management addresses the concerns of those involved in planning, managing, and controlling software projects.
Part V: Advanced Topics in Software Engineering covers formal methods, cleanroom software engineering, component-based software engineering, reengineering, and future trends in software engineering.
