The Practical Guide to Defect Prevention

Description

A practical guide for preventing defects in the software development process

This practical, hands-on guide captures, categorizes, and builds a process of best practices to avoid creating defects during the development process—rather than fixing them after extensive analysis. While there are various proprietary and competing standards for reducing software defects, these methods suffer from issues surrounding timeliness, effectiveness, or cost. What’s more, many other books focus on fixing errors after they’ve been introduced. This guide, however, presents practical methods for reducing defect introduction through prevention and immediate detection and by moving the detection of defects closer to their introduction. Written by experts with over a century of software development experience among them, this book is not an idealized academic book. Instead, it distills many hard-won lessons into a single, workable lifecycle process that will help deliver better quality software.

描述

這本實用指南提供了一個避免軟體開發過程中出現缺陷的實踐方法。它捕捉、分類並建立了一個最佳實踐流程，以避免在開發過程中產生缺陷，而不是在廣泛分析之後修復它們。雖然有各種專有和競爭的標準來減少軟體缺陷，但這些方法存在著及時性、有效性或成本等問題。此外，許多其他書籍都專注於在引入錯誤之後修復它們。然而，這本指南提供了通過預防和立即檢測來減少缺陷引入的實用方法，並將缺陷檢測靠近其引入的位置。本書由具有超過一個世紀軟體開發經驗的專家撰寫，不是一本理想化的學術書籍。相反，它將許多寶貴的經驗教訓融入一個可行的生命週期流程中，有助於提供更高質量的軟體。
