Download or read book Finally Reliable Software written by Rob de Bie and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Complexity is the enemy of reliability”. While our software products become larger and more complex every day, successfully managing the reliability of our products increasingly influences customer satisfaction and business success. How can we manage reliability? Nowadays, there is still no uniform theory or standard that could guide us in doing this. Moreover, we even do not have a common view of what is meant by software reliability and how we could improve it. This is where the value of this book lies. It bridges the gap between often highly theoretical approaches in literature and practical implementation. It provides an overview with a number of proven ways to deal with product (un)reliability and presents practical examples in a case study.With a foreword by Dorothy Graham

Download or read book Software Safety and Reliability written by Debra S. Herrmann and published by Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of software has changed from simply generating financial or mechanical data to monitoring and controlling equipment that directly affects human life and safety. As a result, a more thorough understanding and familiarity with the specialized techniques used to achieve and assess the safety and reliability of software is needed in academia, industry, and government. This original text introduces the concepts, techniques, and approaches used to achieve and assess software safety and reliability. Debra Herrmann presents a cross-section of current safety and reliability standards that cross multiple industrial sectors while focusing on the additional required activities to achieve software safety and reliability. In organizing this text, the she has three objectives. The first is to raise the reader's awareness on the importance of software safety and reliability and on its role in mission critical systems by presenting many illustrative, ever day examples. The second objective is to provide practical information about the current methods used to achieve and assess software safety and reliability. The final objective is to improve the understanding and practice of software safety and reliability by consolidating the latest research so that it can be compared and analyzed for the future. The book is written for engineers, scientists, managers, regulators, and policy makers involved in the design, development, acquisition, and certification of safety-critical systems.

Download or read book Site Reliability Engineering written by Niall Richard Murphy and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overwhelming majority of a software system’s lifespan is spent in use, not in design or implementation. So, why does conventional wisdom insist that software engineers focus primarily on the design and development of large-scale computing systems? In this collection of essays and articles, key members of Google’s Site Reliability Team explain how and why their commitment to the entire lifecycle has enabled the company to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain some of the largest software systems in the world. You’ll learn the principles and practices that enable Google engineers to make systems more scalable, reliable, and efficient—lessons directly applicable to your organization. This book is divided into four sections: Introduction—Learn what site reliability engineering is and why it differs from conventional IT industry practices Principles—Examine the patterns, behaviors, and areas of concern that influence the work of a site reliability engineer (SRE) Practices—Understand the theory and practice of an SRE’s day-to-day work: building and operating large distributed computing systems Management—Explore Google's best practices for training, communication, and meetings that your organization can use

Download or read book An Integrated Approach to Software Engineering written by Pankaj Jalote and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear that the development of large software systems is an extremely complex activity, which is full of various opportunities to introduce errors. Software engineering is the discipline that provides methods to handle this complexity and enables us to produce reliable software systems with maximum productivity. An Integrated Approach to Software Engineering is different from other approaches because the various topics are not covered in isolation. A running case study is employed throughout the book, illustrating the different activity of software development on a single project. This work is important and instructive because it not only teaches the principles of software engineering, but also applies them to a software development project such that all aspects of development can be clearly seen on a project.
