1.0 out of 5 stars Very Boring and poorly written., June 1, 2005

This review is from: Software Quality (ACM Press) (Paperback)

While software quality may not be the most exciting topic in the world, this book is written in such a way that I found myself having trouble getting through the short chapters. I was forced to read this for a graduate level class, and I spent more time trying to understand what I was reading than I did learning by using this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars No good no bad ...., August 19, 1998

This review is from: Software Quality (ACM Press) (Paperback)

I read the book and i think this is a litle introduction to a very wide argument. Is necessary to have a good background about all the arguments descripted in the book, then i think is a good idea to study first the principe of quality ( looking ISO9000 ) and the software engineering, only after this ( if you have saved some money and you don't know how to spend it ) buy this expensive intruduction book.
