For over 20 years, this has been the best-selling guide to software engineering for students and industry professionals alike. This seventh edition features a new part four on web engineering, which presents a complete engineering approach for the analysis, design and testing of web applications. For almost three decades, Roger Pressman's "Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach" has been the world's leading textbook in software engineering. The new seventh edition represents a major restructuring and update of previous editions, solidifying the book's position as the most comprehensive guide to this important subject. The seventh edition of "Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach" has been designed to consolidate and restructure the content introduced over the past two editions of the book. The chapter structure will return to a more linear presentation of software engineering topics with a direct emphasis on the major activities that are part of a generic software process. Content will focus on widely used software engineering methods and will de-emphasize or completely eliminate discussion of secondary methods, tools and techniques. The intent is to provide a more targeted, prescriptive, and focused approach, while attempting to maintain "SEPA"'s reputation as a comprehensive guide to software engineering. The book will be organized in five (5) parts - Process, Modeling, Quality Management, Project Management, and Advanced Topics. The chapter count will remain at 32, unchanged from the sixth edition. However, eight new chapters have been developed and another six chapters have undergone major or moderate revisions. The remaining chapters have undergone minor edits/updates.
