"... In their authoritative new book, Dorota Huizinga and Adam Kolawa have done an admiral job defining a realistic methodology for implementing infrastructure for automatically preventing defects from getting into software. Is it simple? No, of course not. There's no silver bullet. But when the software industry is ready to journey toward zero-defect applications, the road will look like Huizinga and Kolawa's "Automated Defect Prevention."

About The BookThis book introduces Automated Defect Prevention (ADP): a practical approach to software management through process improvement. This strategy is enabled by an infrastructure that automates repetitive tasks, tracks project status, and provides instant access to the information needed for informed decision making and process improvement. Applying ADP, you can evolve a sustainable quality process that delivers predictable outcomes.
ADP stands out from the current software landscape as a result of two unique features:
- Its approach to quality as a continuous process.
- Its far-reaching emphasis on automation.
It can be applied to any team, regardless of its structure, projects, or development method.
Readers will learn how to:
- Control and improve their existing development process.
- Increase agility while facing complexity and change.
- Ensure quality throughout the SDLC— from requirements definition, to design, to construction, to integration, to deployment.
- Collect objective data about the application and the processes used to build it, then leverage it for quality and process improvement.
- Instantly assess project quality and readiness.
- Determine if a release is on target, and how to get it back on track.
- Automate routine and repetitive tasks so the team can focus on more critical and challenging ones.
