This has reduced the number of chapters in the book and allows the author to focus on core material in each chapter. Complete restructuring to make it easier to use the book in teaching software engineering. The book now has four rather than eight parts and each part may be used on its own or in combination with other parts as the basis of a software engineering course. The four parts are an introduction to software engineering, dependability and security, advanced software engineering and software engineering management. Several topics from previous editions are presented more concisely in a single chapter, with extra material moved onto the Web. Additional web chapters, based on chapters from previous editions that are not included in the ninth edition, are available on the Web. The content in all chapters is updated and revised. Approximately 30-40% of the text is completely rewritten. New chapters on agile software development and embedded systems are included. New material on model-driven engineering, open source development, test-driven development, Reason’s Swiss Cheese model, dependable systems architectures, static analysis and model checking, COTS reuse, software as a service, and agile planning.
