Overview

Thanks to the great success of the QC movement, quality assurance has taken root in the earliest stages of technology development. Software Excellence addresses the assumption that software cannot be built without bugs. The author argues that the application of total quality principles and tools to software development will eliminate the lengthy and costly step of debugging that has become an accepted phase of software development.

A translation of the combination reference manual and textbook applying Japanese style quality control methods to software development. Moriguchi offers a guide to bug free software, outlining a plan to build in quality assurance at the earliest stages of design rather than using the final testing stage as a determinant of quality, preventing problems from occurring in the first place. For anyone who's suffered through software bugs, this design approach sounds like a practical and necessary innovation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
