A brief but comprehensive introduction to the field and pragmatic guidance on the implementation of a sound quality system in the organization. It provides an enhanced knowledge of software inspections, metrics, process involvement, assessment of organization, problem solving, customer satisfaction surveys, the CMM, SPICE, and formal methods. Sample material on software inspections, metrics, and customer satisfaction can be adapted by readers to their respective organizations. In addition, readers will gain a detailed understanding of the principles of software quality management and software process improvement. Concepts can then be readily applied to assist improvement programs within organizations.

David A. Sykes is a member of Wofford College's faculty.

If you are responsible for designing, implementing, or managing a quality software program, this updated edition of the Practical Guide to Software Quality Management now identifies 10 major components that make up a solid program in line with ISO 9001 quality management precepts. Thoroughly revised and with new chapters on software safety and software risk management, this comprehensive primer provides you with the starting points for a standardized documentation system, and analyzes each individual program component separately, addressing in detail its specific role and overall importance to the system.

This textbook describes the approaches used by software engineers to build quality into their software. The fundamental principles of software quality management and software process improvement are discussed in detail, with a particular focus on the CMMI framework. Features: includes review questions at the end of each chapter; covers both theory and practice, and provides guidance on applying the theory in an industrial environment; examines all aspects of the software development process, including project planning and tracking, software lifecycles, software inspections and testing, configuration management, and software quality assurance; provides detailed coverage of software metrics and problem solving; describes SCAMPI appraisals and how they form part of the continuous improvement cycle; presents an introduction to formal methods and the Z specification language; discusses UML, which is used to describe the architecture of the system; reviews the history of the field of software quality.

Softwaretests stellen eine kritische Phase in der Softwareentwicklung dar. Jetzt zeigt sich, ob das Programm die entsprechenden Anforderungen erfüllt und sich auch keine Programmierungsfehler eingeschlichen haben. Doch wie bei allen Phasen im Software-Entwicklungsprozess gibt es auch hier eine Reihe möglicher Fallstricke, die die Entdeckung von Programmfehlern vereiteln können. Deshalb brauchen Softwaretester ein Handbuch, das alle Tipps, Tricks und die häufigsten Fehlerquellen genau auflistet und erläutert, damit mögliche Testfehler von vornherein vermieden werden können. Ein solches Handbuch ersetzt gut und gerne jahr(zehnt)elange Erfahrung und erspart dem Tester frustrierende und langwierige Trial-und-Error-Prozeduren. Chem Kaner und James Bach sind zwei der international führenden Experten auf dem Gebiet des Software Testing. Sie schöpfen hier aus ihrer insgesamt 30-jährigen Erfahrung. Die einzelnen Lektionen sind nach Themenbereichen gegliedert, wie z.B. Testdesign, Test Management, Teststrategien und Fehleranalyse. Jede Lektion enthält eine Behauptung und eine Erklärung sowie ein Beispiel des entsprechenden Testproblems. "Lessons Learned in Software Testing" ist ein unverzichtbarer Begleiter für jeden Software Tester.

Software Engineering A Practical ApproachBy Laxmidhar V. GaopandeIn this book the author has covered almost all the topics in software engineering which includes types of software projects, their execution models, software development life cycles (SDLC), different development models like Waterfall, Iterative, Incremental, Spiral, Agile and Test Driven Development (TDD). He has covered in depth software requirements including business requirement documents (BRD), functional requirement documents (FRD), software requirement specifications (SRS), what makes a good specifications, software analysis, design and architecture covering structured system analysis and design method (SSADM), object oriented analysis and design (OOAD) methodology, unified modelling language (UML) and UML diagrams, design patterns, software architecture types like layered, microservices, serverless, even driven architecture. Usability and user experience (UX) chapter covers all important aspects of usability engineering and steps in usability. Chapters on quality and quality systems describe attributes of quality and quality systems like ISO 9001, SEI CMMI. Software testing chapter covers details of software testing, types of testing, testing models etc. Details of configuration management, release management, risk management, software support, project management and methodologies are covered in detail. Details on what makes a good project manager and project management organization are also covered in detail. Chapter on software estimation is very detailed and covers various estimation techniques, like Agile estimation, class based simplified estimation for OOAD systems, function point analysis, Mark II, COCOMO etc. Templates for various artifacts are also listed and will be useful for the software engineering work. The book covers five interesting case studies and learnings from them from author own practical experience while executing software projects and product development. The author has also given interesting eighteen exercises for developing a new software system covering all the topics in software engineering. Lot of useful data is also shared which will be very useful for students, teachers and practitioner.
