An introductory text focusing on modern software engineering, based around the kind of software that students can relate to. Covers methods and techniques that are used in the development of off-the-shelf, software products. Current topics—Cloud computing, microservices, security and privacy, and DevOps — are covered that are not covered in other software engineering texts. The book is written in an informal style with many illustrative examples, diagrams and tables, key points and exercises for each chapter. Recommended Reading and Exercises section 20 diagrams and tables for each chapter Instructor resources and supporting material can be found at http://iansommerville.com/engineering-software-products/: Instructor’s Manual Solutions to exercises and quiz questions for all chapters Suggestions how you can use the book in a one-semester software engineering course Links to relevant videos and presentations for each chapter Python programs from the book Check out the preface for a complete list of features.
