Abstract: Providing an introduction to software engineering, this edition includes chapters on security engineering, service-oriented software engineering, and aspect-oriented software development. It offers integrated coverage of system safety, security and reliability - illustrating best practice in developing critical systems. Read more... One of the earliest student textbooks on the (then) emerging field of software engineering. It presents a view of software engineering as practised in the early 1980s, and is oriented around the notion of the software life cycle - requirements, design, implementation, testing and evolution. Rapidly superceded by later editions because the discipline was changing so quickly at that time.

THE most current Software Engineering text in the market– quality trusted coverage, practical case studies, strong lecturer support.
