Synopsis

The first practical guide to Software Reliability Engineering (SRE), this book puts the efficiency-enhancing benefits of SRE within reach of all software developers and testers. Organized for quick learning and rapid application, this book leads you through the entire SRE process with the Fone Follower case study, adapted from a Bell Laboratories product. With answered FAQs, hands-on exercises for instant application, and information-packed appendices, the book boils down the core practice of SRE to a one- or two-day learning process. Even those unfamiliar with SRE can quickly discover how to set quantitative reliability goals, use CASRE to estimate software reliability, develop operational profiles, prepare test cases, execute tests, interpret failure data, and much more. Also helpful to systems engineers, systems architects, developers, and managers, this unique and valuable tool shows you step-by-step how to deliver the highly efficient engineered software development and testing procedures needed in today's fast-moving marketplace.
