Description This volume of Advances in Computers is number 66 in the series that began back in 1960. This series presents the ever changing landscape
in the continuing evolution of the development of the computer and the field of information processing. Each year three volumes are produced
presenting approximately 20 chapters that describe the latest technology in the use of computers today. Volume 66, subtitled "Quality
software development," is concerned about the current need to create quality software. It describes the current emphasis in techniques
for creating such software and in methods to demonstrate that the software indeed meets the expectations of the designers and purchasers
of that software.
Key features:
- In-depth surveys and tutorials on software development approaches.
- Well-known authors
and researchers in the field.
- Extensive bibliographies with most chapters.
- All chapters focus on software development issues.
