Version	Location	Description	Submitted By	Date submitted
, Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 8 Third donut chart in Figure 1-1	The third donut chart in Figure 1-1 should be the same as the third donut chart on page 26 (Java edition)/page 27 (C# edition), thus with the caption: "unit size quality profile cut-offs for a 4-star system". The cut-offs are thus (from low risk to high risk): 57% 21% 15% 7%	Sylvan Rigal	Aug 04, 2016
, Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 12 Code snippet	Note that since the code snippet on page 12 is an example of a bad practice, it also includes a SQL injection flaw. This is not elaborated upon because the focus of the exercise is to assess the code's maintainability.	Sylvan Rigal	Nov 07, 2016
Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 15 last paragraph	p.15, last paragraph: Original: "So far our unit contains only 7 lines of code" should be "So far our unit contains only eight lines of code"	Sylvan Rigal	Jun 08, 2016
, Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 27/42/66/80 Donut chart legend	For clarity and consistency with the threshold tables, the highest categories in the donut chart legends should read: -Figure 2-2 (Java p.26/C# p.27) should be "61 or more" instead of "61+". The orange category in the second/third charts of this figure should read "31-60" instead of "30-60". -Figure 3-2 (Java p.40/C# p.42 ) should be "26 or more" instead of "25+" -Figure 5-1 (Java p.64/C# p.66) should be "7 or more" instead of "7+" -Figure 6-1 (Java p.76/C# p.80) should be "51 or more" instead of "51+"	Sylvan Rigal	Nov 07, 2016
Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 38 Last line of paragraph below code snippet	p.38, Last line of paragraph below code snippet Original: "The developer much choose" should be "The developer must choose"	Sylvan Rigal	Jun 08, 2016
Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 40 code snippet	Note that on p.40 (§3.2) we purposely leave the +else+ line in the code snippet to improve code analyzability (that is, removing the +else+ line would not change the code's behavior). The effect of this added line should be marginal to the actual code maintainability. Also, for the sake of consistency we apply the same coding style as in the code snippet before refactoring.	Sylvan Rigal	Jun 08, 2016
Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 59 Second code snippet	P.59, second, refactored code snippet: the following line: Point position = r.Position; is superfluous since the position variable is not used in the unit.	Sylvan Rigal	Jun 08, 2016
	Page 64 1st paragrash	The second sentence is: "Six of the seven parameters of drawBarChart have been turned into of BarChart class." I believe you mean "a" instead of "of". As in "...turned into a BarChart class." Note from the Author or Editor: This is correct	Anonymous	Jul 22, 2021
Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 83 Figure 7.1	P.83, figure 7.1 The right title is erroneously the same as the left one. It should read: Highly coupled components: hard to change in isolation.	Sylvan Rigal	Jun 08, 2016
Printed, PDF, ePub, Mobi, , Other Digital Version	Page 120 first paragraph	...assumes that if the hour of the day on a 24-hour clock is lower than 6 p.m., it is night -->This should be "lower than 6:00, it is night"	Sylvan Rigal	Mar 12, 2018
