“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!
