I have designed by textbook to be a hybrid print-web book and the material here provides additional information over and above what is included in the printed text. Web material falls into three categories:
- Sample chapters from the 10th edition
- Web chapters
- Web sections
Sample chapters
Sample chapters are NOT licensed under a creative commons license but are (c) Ian Sommerville and Pearson Education. They may not be edited, sold or distributed.
Web chapters
Web chapters, which are chapters that have been included in previous editions but which have been removed from the current book because they are on topics which are not usually included in current software engineering courses. These have not been significantly updated since they were published so may be out of date in places.
LICENSE: All web chapters and web sections are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Scotland license. This means you may share and edit any material but you must attribute the material to me and that it must not be used for commercial purposes (i.e. you can’t sell material or use it in commercial courses).
Web sections
Web sections, which are short additional descriptions of topics that add more detail to individual sections in the book. The number in brackets after the link to each web section is the chapter number in the book where this section is referenced. There are web sections associated with most of the chapters in the book.
