Description
Book SynopsisThis book presents describes in detail each of the 40 software and systems engineering standards contained in the collection of the IEEE. The book is organized to allow users to quickly pinpoint a subject of interest, find an overall description of the subject, and obtain a clear explanation of best-practice standards for that subject.
Trade Review"If there were anything else the reader would want from this book, I cannot contemplate what that might be." (
Software Quality Professional, September 2007)
"Moore's book is exactly what his title says...consider it a valuable index and commentary—the Cliff Notes" for IEEE standards." (CHOICE, June 2006)
"For readers who want a book about standards and how they can be used in a software engineering context, this is the book to have." (Software Quality Professional, June 2006)
"...an excellent source for [software engineering practitioners]...helping them to locate the standards pertinent to questions they face in real projects." (Computing Reviews.com, May 22, 2006)
