Software Quality: Concepts and Practice offers a comprehensive exploration of software quality issues and the principles and practices of Software Quality Assurance (SQA). Written by Daniel Galin, this first edition is designed to serve as an essential resource for universities and college students, vocational training participants, and software engineers and development managers. The book covers a broad range of SQA topics, extending beyond traditional custom-made software development to include in-house software development, subcontractors, and readymade software. It provides up-to-date coverage on multifarious SQA subjects that are often underexplored in other texts.

The comprehensive nature of the book is reflected in its systematic presentation of the SQA function and its tasks, such as establishing SQA processes, planning, coordinating, follow-up, review, and evaluation. A dedicated focus on SQA implementation issues is provided through specialized chapter sections, examples, implementation tips, and topics for discussion that enhance practical understanding and application.

Primarily aimed at a diverse audience engaged in software projects, this book serves as both a textbook and a professional reference guide, offering valuable insights into the complexities of ensuring high-quality software development and management.
