New software inspection book

New software inspection book

[David Wheeler]

In my Ada tutorial, Lovelace, I included a section that discussed
how to apply inspections to Ada code (see URL
"http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/Tutorials/Lovelace/lesson17.html").

If that made you curious about inspections, or you're using
inspections, or you're thinking about using them, you might find my new
book on inspections of use to you.

It's titled "Software Inspection: An Industry Best Practice," edited by
David A. Wheeler, Bill Brykczynski, and Reginald N. Meeson.  It's
published by IEEE Computer Society Press.  The book is a collection of
key papers on inspections, organized into the following sections:
 * Introduction to Software Insepction
 * Experience Reports
 * Process Measurement
 * Inspection of Products other than Code
 * Other Inspection-Related Work

Each section begins with text that ties the papers together.
The book also includes a bibliography, bibliography index, author index,
glossary, and (on disk) an annotated bibliography.

More information about this book is available on-line from the publisher
at "http://www.computer.org/cspress/catalog/bp07340.htm".

It's my hope that many of you will find this book useful.
Thanks for listening.
