Product Review
" … seasoned throughout with practical experience and examples … these combine to give a well-balanced feel overall which is really quite satisfying." (
Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, June 2006)
Product Description
The one resource needed to create reliable software
This text offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to
software quality engineering. By following the author's clear guidance, readers learn how to master the techniques to produce high-quality, reliable software, regardless of the
software system's level of complexity.
The first part of the publication introduces major topics in
software quality engineering and presents quality planning as an integral part of the process. Providing readers with a solid foundation in key concepts and practices, the book moves on to offer in-depth coverage of
software testing as a primary means to ensure
software quality; alternatives for quality assurance, including defect prevention, process improvement, inspection, formal verification, fault tolerance, safety assurance, and damage control; and measurement and analysis to close the feedback loop for quality assessment and quantifiable improvement.
The text's approach and style evolved from the author's hands-on experience in the classroom. All the pedagogical tools needed to facilitate quick learning are provided:
* Figures and tables that clarify concepts and provide quick topic summaries
* Examples that illustrate how theory is applied in real-world situations
* Comprehensive bibliography that leads to in-depth discussion of specialized topics
* Problem sets at the end of each chapter that test readers' knowledge
This is a superior textbook for
software engineering, computer science, information systems, and electrical engineering students, and a dependable reference for
software and computer professionals and engineers.
Reader ReviewsTakes a while to get used to the book. Not the easiest to understand Lots of good information and concepts. Strongly recommended if you are willing to do the brain work
