As software
engineering has developed, I have deliberately deleted chapters
that were included in previous editions of the book from the
current edition. Sometimes this reflects changes in practice,
sometimes it has been in response to comments from readers
and sometimes it simply reflects my own changing interests
in the subject.
I appreciate
that some users of earlier editions may make use of these
chapters and I think it is important to maintain upward compatibility
between editions. Consequently, I have made versions of these
deleted chapters available here.
