Understand what levels of quality are reasonable to expect at every stage of the software life cycle, including development, deployment, and maintenance
Discover the key "design leverage points" that lead to robust software
Learn sophisticated new ways to predict software quality and assess systems in production
Make the most of hazard analysis, testing, design analysis, reviews, static code analysis, and other techniques
Choose the best tools―and use them more effectively
