This review is from: Software Reliability: Principles and Practices (Hardcover)

This book goes hand-in-hand with his other classic, Software Testing. Although dated, many topics still remain relevant for reliability practitioners. Many relevant topics in the book are no longer included in newer books on reliability...making this a gold mine for usable knowledge.
