In the past few years, computer systems have come to dominate not just our technological growth, but the foundations of our world’s major industries. This text seeks to lay out the fundamental concepts of this huge and continually growing subject area in a clear and comprehensive manner. The Tenth Edition contains new information that highlights various technological updates of recent years, providing readers with highly relevant and current information. Sommerville’s experience in system dependability and systems engineering guides the text through a traditional plan-based approach that incorporates some novel agile methods. The text strives to teach the innovators of tomorrow how to create software that will make our world a better, safer, and more advanced place to live. Review: Best Intro to Software Engineering on the Planet - I have used this book in teaching software engineering from the first edition. Sommerville is the clearest and most balanced and practical writer in this realm, bar none. There are other good SE sources that home in on this or that fad or sub-speciality, but Sommerville is the master of presenting the whole field in an accessible and clear manner. Start here -- it will be a touchstone for your whole career. Review: Practical and easy to read. - This book is one of the best textbooks I have ever read. Sommerville is conversational, clear and relevant. Throughout the book there are links to the webpage for the text with extra materials and lectures. After watching the videos, I found that I could "hear" Sommerville's voice in my head as I read. The case study concerning the Ariane 5 launch was an excellent example and encouraged me to learn more about the topic. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #657,661 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #168 in Software Design & Engineering #475 in Computer Programming Languages #691 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 163 Reviews | ## Images ![Software Engineering - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HiyCm3Y6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Intro to Software Engineering on the Planet *by G***W on January 24, 2017* I have used this book in teaching software engineering from the first edition.
