Software Quality for Managers

Are your systems build for change?
Are you measuring technical debt?
Are you suffering from low developer productivity?

If you cannot answer these questions, this ebook is written for you! Within 90 pages you will understand the most important software quality concepts.

Learn about controlling and monitoring software quality through an analogy, no matter your background!

After reading this ebook you'll understand the KPI's to assess a software system. It goes without saying that this example is a gross simplification of reality.

This ebook covers the 8 essential software quality conceptsneeded to excel. Learning the most important concepts does not have to be hard. Learning and thus uncovering your blind spots is the first step. The 8 essential concepts are:

• 1. lines of code,
• 2. duplication,
• 3. unit size,
• 4. unit complexity,
• 5. unit interfacing,
• 6. module coupling,
• 7. component balance,
• 8. component independence.

So, after reading this ebook you'll be able to challenge or assess the 'software health' of a application on a fine-grained level based on these 8 essential concepts.

Can you explain these concepts without showing code?
Yes. The concepts are technology independent and are explained by making use of analogies.

Why should I buy this book?
Only buy when you are new to software quality and want a complete beginners' perspective. This ebook is specifically developed for:

• Software architects that care about the 'health' of the system.
• Product owners / project managers / software managers / architecture assurance managers that build software systems,
• Anyone interested in the basics of software quality, explained in layman's terms;

I'm fully convinced of the benefits, but I don't see why I should learn all this from you.
True, let me explain by giving you an overview of my experience:

• Software quality consultant. I've advised many managers of large / small IT projects on various software related aspects;
• Quality assurance engineer. I have implemented large IT systems for large companies.

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Cheers,
