Managing Software Quality discusses the methods involved in the integration of process, document and code indicators when constructing an evolving picture of quality. Throughout the book the authors describe experiences gained in a four-year on-site validation of the framework, making this book particularly useful for project or program managers, software managers and software engineers.

The authors share numerous valuable lessons learned during the research and applications of software quality management.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "This is one of the few books in this area that addresses the 'quality' aspect based upon the important aspect of documentation. In addition, the book provides a basis for not only the software manager concerned with measurement implementation, but also the researcher in identifying the current state of the art and practice. This will be a key reference guide for anyone that is concerned with developing quality software." (William H Farr, PhD, Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division) "A thought provoking starter for a metrics professional with time to develop theory into practice. … good suggestions are made on typical things to measure. The code and test phases are well covered with extensive examples of metrics. The cost of the book is a small price to pay for the ideas it contains for a serious metrics practitioner, and it should provide some ideas for anyone involved in the measurement aspects of ISO 9001:2000." (Brian Peaker, British Computer Society, January, 2003)
