"This book has a tremendous amount of insight and wisdom and provides a realistic application of just enough process to get the job done effectively. You can expect me to quote the material found in Drs. Huizinga and Kolawa material in my column, Behaviorally Speaking, frequently. But I suggest that you get your own copy and apply it's principles in your organization to achieve quality and productivity while seamlessly meeting your IT governance and compliance requirements as well!"

The best software bug is the bug that never, ever gets into the code. While we can all try to design zero-defect applications, the reality is that whenever there are programmers involved, you're going to have bugs. No set of best practices can prevent coders from making mistakes, just like no spell check can prevent me from typing "mistake" incorrectly.The real trick, therefore, is to catch defects as soon as they're made ­ quickly, painlessly, automatically.

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."

Dr. Adam Kolawa is a seasoned practitioner of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) - he makes countless trips to every Parasoft client's site, and takes away the essential customer needs, which get implemented at an astonishing rate into Parasoft solutions. The same level of scrutiny has been applied to 'Automated Defect Prevention.' This is a practical guide with realistic, useful and immediately applicable techniques that save money while improving developer skills. It's a must read for anyone serious about significant software quality improvement.
