"We all trust software. All too frequently, this trust is misplaced. Larry Bernstein has created and applied quantitative techniques to develop trustworthy software systems. He and C.M. Yuhas have organized this quantitative experience into a book of great value to make software trustworthy for all of us." -- Barry Boehm, TRW Professor of Software Engineering, Director of Center for Software Engineering, University of South Carolina

Software engineering provides the knowledge base for producing reliable software products. With the availability of numerous case studies illustrating software engineering principles, it is now possible to measure certain approaches based on models derived from empirical data. The first book in the Wiley Series on Quantitative Software Engineering, Trustworthy Systems Through Quantitative Software Engineering, (Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Press; September 2005; $98.95; Cloth; 0-471-69691-9) provides an innovative, reliability-driven software engineering approach that equips students and professionals with a solid foundation in problem analysis.
