About the Book

This is the first systematic guide to defect identification, correction, and prevention in object-oriented software development projects. Houman Younessi covers every aspect of defect reduction, going far beyond testing to cover every key aspect of the software development process, from planning through software delivery. Younessi provides hands-on tools, templates, checklists, and other productivity tools that project team members can use to begin improving software quality immediately. The techniques presented in this book are entirely compatible with today's leading tools, notation schemes, and methodologies, including the UML modeling standard, and both the RUP (Rational Unified Process) and OPEN process models. For every developer, manager, quality professional, researcher, and student concerned with improving software quality.
