Authoritative resource providing step-by-step guidance for producing reliable software to be tailored for specific projects. Software Reliability Techniques for Real-World Applications is a practical, up to date, go-to source that can be referenced repeatedly to efficiently prevent software defects, find and correct defects if they occur, and create a higher level of confidence in software products. From content development to software support and maintenance, the author creates a depiction of each phase in a project such as design and coding, operation and maintenance, management, product production, and concept development and describes the activities and products needed for each. Software Reliability Techniques for Real-World Applications introduces clear ways to understand each process of software reliability and explains how it can be managed effectively and reliably. The book is supported by a plethora of detailed examples and systematic approaches, covering analogies between hardware and software reliability to ensure a clear understanding. Overall, this book helps readers create a higher level of confidence in software products.

The early chapters of this book are intended to provide an overall understanding of the nature of the problem, followed by more practical suggestions in later chapters. Chapter 2 covers some definitions and useful information about defects. Chapter 3 outlines an overall approach for developing reliable software, followed by Chapter 4, which describes different project phases or stages, how defects can enter the project in each phase, ways to mitigate these defects, and ways to monitor for defects applicable to the phase. Chapter 5 provides a summary and roadmap, along with some practical guidelines. The book concludes with Chapter 6 that gives more details on some of the techniques mentioned in Chapters 3 and 4.

In Software Reliability Techniques for Real-World Applications , readers will find specific information on:

Defects, including where defects enter the project system, effects, detection, and causes of defects, and how to handle defects
Project phases, including concept development and planning, requirements and interfaces, design and coding, and integration, verification, and validation
Roadmap and practical guidelines, including at the start of a project, as a member of an organization, and how to handle troubled projects
Techniques, including an introduction to techniques in general, plus techniques by organization (systems engineering, software, and reliability engineering)

Software Reliability Techniques for Real-World Applications is a practical text on software reliability, providing over sixty-five different techniques and step-by-step guidance for producing reliable software. It is an essential and complete resource on the subject for software developers, software maintainers, and producers of software.
