| The sixth edition continues to lead the way in software engineering.
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 signficantly increased in
this new edition.
The pedagogy has also been improved in the new edition to
include sidebars. They provide information on relevant softare
tools, specific work flow for specific kinds of projects,
and additional information on various topics. Additionally,
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 to the book 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 in the book.
The ancillary material for the book includes an expansion
of the case study, which illustrates it with UML diagrams.
The On-Line Learning Center 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.
Features
The book is geared toward both the practitioner and the student,
giving it added value for sudents even after they graduate.
Five new chapters on Web Engineering (Part 3) present methods
for formulation, planning, analysis, design and testing of Web
applications.
The new modular organization allows instructors to use the book
in a variety of different course formats. Options include a "design
course," a "survey course," "management course,"
and a "web engineering course."
The SafeHome case study has been enhanced and extended to illustrate
important topics and to allow the student to better understand
the inner workings of a project team as software is engineered
and built.
New sidebars are used extensively to present complimentary software
engineering topics, suggest relevant tools, and define workflow
for various technical and management activities.
A robust On-line Learning Center accompanies this book and provides:
PowerPoints, testbank, reference library (over 500) software engineering
papers, study guides, and over 700 web references.
A new chapter on design engineering emphasizes important design
concepts and principles and lays the foundation for the four design
chapter that follow.
The coverage on UML(Unified Modeling Language)has been significantly
enhanced for the sixth edition.
A new chapter on agile development considers Extreme Programming
and other agile methods.
A new chapter on requirements engineering that emphasizes technique
that emphasizes techniques for requirements inception, elicitation,
elaboration, negotiation, specification, validation, and management.
Comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all important Software
Engineering topics.
