In this important new book, he and Olivier Bonsignour make the hard-headed, bottom-line, economic case, with facts and data, about why software quality is so important. I know I’ll turn to this excellent reference again and again.”\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e —Rex Black, President, RBCS\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePoor quality continues to bedevil large-scale development projects, but few software leaders and practitioners know how to measure quality, select quality best practices, or cost-justify their usage.
