Synopsis

Written by two master programmers, the book describes the nature of bugs, how they slip through testing, and the issues various bugs have in common. These discussions are supported by case studies of famous and not-so-famous bugs and industrial/academic research and experiments. Each chapter concludes with a "bug problem" and answers to these problems are provided in the last chapter.
