CHAPTER 8  SOFTWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE                              223

                              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.

                              tion on this important SQA activity. Friedman and Voas (Software Assessment, Wiley,
