For over 20 years, this has been the best selling guide to software engineering for students and industry professionals alike. The sixth edition continues to lead the way. A new Part 4 on web engineering presents a complete engineering approach for the analysis, design and testing of web applications, increasingly important for today's students. Additionally, the UML coverage has been enhanced and significantly increased. The pedagogy has also been improved to include sidebars. They give information on relevant software tools, specific work flow for specific kinds of projects, and additional data on various topics. Also, Pressman provides a running case study called "Safe Home" throughout the book, which provides the application of software engineering to an industry project. New additions also include chapters on the Agile Process Models, Requirements Engineering, and Design Engineering. The book has been completely updated and contains hundreds of new references to software tools that address all important topics. The ancillary material includes an expansion of the case study, which illustrates it with UML diagrams.
The OnLine Learning Centre includes resources for both instructors and students such as checklists, 700 categorized web references, Powerpoints, a test bank and a software engineering library-containing over 500 software engineering papers.
