senior managers with software development responsibility. Gluckman and Roome
(Everyday Heroes of the Quality Movement, Dorset House, 1993) humanizes quality
issues by telling the story of the players in the quality process. Kan (Metrics and Mod-
els in Software Quality Engineering, Addison-Wesley, 1995) presents a quantitative
view of software quality.
Tingley (Comparing ISO 9000, Malcolm Baldrige, and the SEI CMM for Software,
Prentice-Hall, 1996) provides useful guidance for organizations that are striving to
improve their quality management processes. Oskarsson (An ISO 9000 Approach to
Building Quality Software, Prentice-Hall, 1995) discusses the ISO standard as it applies
to software.
Dozens of books have been written about software quality issues in recent years.

An anthology edited by Wheeler, Brykczynski, and Meeson (Software Inspection:
Industry Best Practice, IEEE Computer Society Press, 1996) presents useful informa-

reliability and safety of computer programs.
Musa (Software Reliability Engineering: More Reliable Software, Faster Development
and Testing, McGraw-Hill, 1998) has written a practical guide to applied software reli-
ability techniques. Anthologies of important papers on software reliability have been
edited by Kapur et al. (Contributions to Hardware and Software Reliability Modelling,
World Scientific Publishing Co., 1999), Gritzalis (Reliability, Quality and Safety of
Software-Intensive Systems, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1997), and Lyu (Handbook
