Reviews

"I am happy to see that the editors have succeeded in collecting chapters that not only build upon one another but more importantly form a coherent whole addressing the relevant issues from people management to coding including the experiences collected from industry. And all of this, addressed from the perspective of software quality!"

– Pekka Abrahamsson, Research professor, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland
