Dr. Roger S. Pressman is a software engineering
guru. For over 30 years, he has worked as a software engineer,
a manager, a professor, an author, and a consultant, focusing
on software engineering issues.
Dr. Pressman has designed and developed products
that are used worldwide for software engineering training
and process improvement—Essential Software Engineering
(ESE), the industry's most comprehensive video curriculum
in software engineering, and Process Advisor, the industry's
first self-directed software process improvement product.
ESE provides "just-in-time" training
in software engineering. Individuals can pick and choose the
ESE components that are most appropriate to their current
needs and can focus on knowledge delivery modules that are
of immediate need. ESE has been included in the training approach
of various organizations from diverse industry segments such
as banking, insurance, health care, manufacturing, aerospace,
communications, electronics, computing, information technology,
and government and military agencies to name a few. Industry
leaders such as American Bank, Citibank, N.A., Prudential
Insurance, Canadian Health Ministry, Ford Motor Company, AT&T,
General Electric Co., Honeywell Corporation, Intel Corporation,
GE Capital, Hewlett Packard, Merrill Lynch, and Motorola.

Process Advisor is a simple, yet powerful,
self-directed system, for software process improvement. The
Process Advisor user base is growing throughout the US and
internationally. Process Advisor user base includes software
organizations in the area of information systems, technology
organizations, engineering and scientific software builders,
real-time and embedded software developers, and consulting
firms. Process Advisor users include organizations such as
AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Cisco Systems, Motorola, NASDAQ,
Nokia Data Communications, Ernst & Young, Prudential Asset
Management, Software Engineering Institute, Wordperfect Corporation,
Unisys, and Software Productivity Consortium. More…
Dr. Pressman has also developed the Adaptable
Process Model (APM). The APM is intended as a basis from
which an organization can develop a customized software process
based on specific project needs.

Dr. Pressman is the author of six books
and many technical and management articles. His book,
Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach,
is the world's most widely used software engineering
textbook. Worldwide, SEPA has sold more than 3-4 million
copies and is the world's best selling book in software
engineering. The book has been translated into eight
languages (recent translations include: Chinese (2 dialects),
Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian). SEPA has been
used at over 500 Universities worldwide. SEPA is widely
used in industry and is required reading for many industry
and government short courses.

The sixth edition of the book (SEPA, 6/e) accommodates
the dramatic growth in the field and emphasizes new
and important software engineering methods. It includes
information on architectural design, interface design,
component-based software engineering, and web engineering.
For more information on Dr. Pressman's books, click
here. To complement SEPA 6/e, a comprehensive website
called SepaWeb is being developed. The website will
provide a broad array of software engineering resources
that will benefit instructors, learners, and industry
professionals.
