This book embodies the belief that quality matters to the software developer and that the construction of an effective quality management system is one practical way to bring quality disciplines to bear on software development activities. ISO9001 with ISO9000-3 provides a specification for a QMS which addresses the software specific areas as well as those relevent to all industries. This book makes ISO9001 and ISO9000-3 accessible and relevant to software specialists while recognizing the very real deficiences of these documents. Two major issues of concern are addressed: measurement, which is the basic core of continuous improvement mechanisms; iterative and incremental techniques, which are becoming increasingly common. We can also see how these areas can be integrated into a development environment without threatening the quality culture of the organization. The book includes: practical guidance on the use and interpretation of ISO9001 and ISO9000-3 in a software development environment; focus on the importance of measurement with practical guidance on measurement methods; consideration of iterative and incremental development approaches; evaluation of the impact of rapid application development and object oriented development on a quality management system based on ISO9000-3.

User Acceptance Testing: A step-by-step guide

<p>Every information system brought into service in every type of organisation requires user acceptance testing. It is by far the most common activity carried out by non-IT specialists. This book is designed to be a hands-on manual for non-testing specialists to plan and carry out an effective acceptance test of an information system. It provides a structured and step-by-step approach to effective acceptance testing and identifies ways of making the process as simple and cost-effective as possible. "A UAT guide for users: that is a novel thought! This fills a gap in my bookshelf, a volume I wish I had years ago. It would have helped me to help the business. But more than that: it would have helped business users to help themselves, and see that UAT is more than just a necessary evil, but has clear purpose, methods, goals and skills. This is a step by step guide that is clear and praise worthy. You never know, it could be a recruiting arm for professional testers in the future, brought in from the business."
