For almost four decades this textbook has been the world’s leading book in software engineering. The ninth edition represents a major restructuring and update of previous editions, solidifying the book’s position as the most comprehensive guide to this important subject. A reduction in the amount of survey content and an emphasis on a more prescriptive approach have resulted in a crisp book, making it stronger from a pedagogical viewpoint and less daunting for the reader who desires to journey through the entire book. The chapters have been restructured and organized with a direct emphasis on the major activities that are part of a generic software process. The intent is to provide a more targeted, prescriptive, and focused approach while maintaining the book’s reputation as a comprehensive guide to software engineering.
