Book description

This text is the successor to the best-selling Software Engineering Productivity Handbook. Meticulously researched and filled with practical step-by-step instructions, it covers the full spectrum of software engineering methodologies, techniques, and tools and explains how to reach the goals of quality management in a software-engineering environment. Written by an expert with more than 25 years of practical experience, the handbook includes more than 65 field-tested how-to chapters covering the techniques needed to install and implement quality and productivity programs. The handbook also contains 19 appendices containing complete examples that illustrate important software engineering techniques.
