About the Book
This book is an in-depth technical reference providing methods and techniques for building and maintaining confidence in system software, helping to answer such critical questions as: 1) Are we building the right software? and 2) Are we building the software right?
Book Synopsis
This book fills the critical need for in-depth technical reference providing the methods and techniques for maintaining confidence in many varieties of system software. In today's technological marketplace, not only are governments more focused on software safety, but private industry and academia are as well. The means for testing and ensuring reliability and safety in mission critical software is commonly termed software verification and validation. This is a book for technical professionals who must perform software verification and validation on high-fidelity systems. The intent is to help develop reliable answers to such critical questions as: 1) Are we building the right software for the need? and 2) Are we building the software right? Software Verification and Validation: An Engineering and Scientific Approach is structured for research scientists and practitioners in industry. The book is also suitable as a secondary textbook for advanced-level students in computer science and engineering.

Review Quotes
From the reviews:
"The man body of the book appears of four chapters and an appendix. ... it is a very inspiring essay or monograph on V&V, written by an experienced V&V project manager. It encourages readers to look at their own projects from a fresh perspective, and gives the reader some new ideas on managing quality in his or her project. I enjoyed reading it." (Markus Wolf, Computing Reviews, January, 2008)
