This book provides a complete and realistic approach to applying ISO 9000 standards to software and the management of software development. It teams an ISO 9000/Quality expert (Oskarsson) with a traditional software development guru (Glass) to bridge the gap between what the standard requires and what building quality software is really about.

This book tells stories about some of the very special people in computing - "the intentionally strange boss," "the software thief," "the compuer that never computes," and "every programmer's dream." Read about disguised versions of real people who've done some pretty weird and wonderful real things.

( The practice of building software is a “new kid on the ...)
The practice of building software is a “new kid on the block” technology. Though it may not seem this way for those who have been in the field for most of their careers, in the overall scheme of professions, software builders are relative “newbies.” In the short history of the software field, a lot of facts have been identified, and a lot of fallacies promulgated. Those facts and fallacies are what this book is about. There’s a problem with those facts–and, as you might imagine, those fallacies. Many of these fundamentally important facts are learned by a software engineer, but over the short lifespan of the software field, all too many of them have been forgotten. While reading Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering , you may experience moments of “Oh, yes, I had forgotten that,” alongside some “Is that really true?” thoughts. The author of this book doesn’t shy away from controversy. In fact, each of the facts and fallacies is accompanied by a discussion of whatever controversy envelops it. You may find yourself agreeing with a lot of the facts and fallacies, yet emotionally disturbed by a few of them! Whether you agree or disagree, you will learn why the author has been called “the premier curmudgeon of software practice.” These facts and fallacies are fundamental to the software building field–forget or neglect them at your peril!

Real "what happened and why" stories about some well-known microcomputer companies that failed. What happened to the pioneers, like MITS and IMSAI? Why did Texas Instruments get out of the business? What caused Steve Jobs to leave Apple, the company he brought up from nothing? These questions and many more are answered here.

This book gets at the essence of software quality based on the premise that quality is at heart a technical problem, and that management's job is to create a facilitating environment. It fully explains the quality techniques available to the dedicated technologist, the ways that management can facilitate quality, and offers case studies. For software programmers and managers. KEY FEATURES: • features case studies of how companies and governments have met the challenges of building quality software. • includes a recommendations section, in which the whole of the book is distilled into a set of project-dependent quality approach recommendations.

(It's the electronic age, and computers are all around us....)
It's the electronic age, and computers are all around us. They help us; they hinder us; but they aren't going away. Some would call this the greatest success story of our time. But along the way there have been failure stories, as well. This book collects the biggest and best of those. Why did GE, RCA, and Xeroz leap in, then stagger out of the computing business? This books tell about the companies, the computers, and the people whose computing ventures went the way of the Edsel and the Studebaker. The author, Robert L. Glass, is a well-known spinner of computing failure stories.
