Here Comes the Train by Charlotte Voake

The practical guide to evaluating and improving the quality of mission-critical software.

Large software systems will never be perfect, but decision makers need better ways to evaluate and enhance software quality--especially where software is mission critical or used in life-or-death environments. Solid Software presents realistic techniques for analyzing and improving the quality and robustness of any software system or software-intensive product.

Solid Software isn't theoretical: it's a relentlessly practical decision maker's guide to making intelligent, responsible trade-offs that lead to the best software at the best cost.

• Understand what levels of quality are reasonable to expect at every stage of the software life cycle, including development, deployment, and maintenance
• Discover the key design leverage points that lead to robust software
• Learn sophisticated new ways to predict software quality and assess systems in production
• Make the most of hazard analysis, testing, design analysis, reviews, static code analysis, and other techniques
• Choose the best tools--and use them more effectively

Solid Software draws upon dozens of real-world examples, based on the authors' extensive experience as software quality consultants, and interviews with key software decision makers worldwide. Whether you're a developer, project manager, architect, executive, manager, or regulator, it's your single source for improving software quality--in the real world.
