SQA (software quality assurance) is a critical factor that all software engineers and developers need to master, and this thoroughly revised fourth edition of the popular book, Handbook of Software Quality Assurance, serves as a one-stop resource for complete and current SQA knowledge. Emphasizing the importance of CMMI and key ISO requirements, this unique book discusses a wide spectrum of real-world experiences and key issues presented in papers from leading experts in the field. The fourth edition is a significant update to past editions, providing the very latest details on current best practices and explaining how SQA can be implemented in organizations large and small. Practitioners find an updated discussion on the American Society for Quality (ASQ) SQA certification program, covering the benefits of becoming an ASQ certified software quality engineer. The book also helps readers better understand the requirements of the ASQ's CSQE examination.
