Schweitzer, Douglas. Wiley 2002 ISBN 0-7645-4958-8 The coverage of this book is given in the subtitle. The book approaches its subject at a personal level not at a technical level.

Software Testing Fundamentals. Methods and Metrics.

Hutcheson, Marnie L. Wiley 2003 ISBN 0-471-43020-X The author does not believe that everything can or should be tested. But does believe in having reliable metrics to show what has been tested and how critical the bugs found were. Most importantly there must be a specification to test against. Otherwise, how can you say that an outcome is correct or a fault. In this area she is strong on definitions. Then there are the "Most important Tests' which is something of a new concept to us. Do not expect a cook book approach to testing, this book is a mind opening experience and following it will raise a testers self esteem and their value in the eyes of their peer more importantly management and the finance people. Follow this author. She knows what she is talking about and always explains the bottom line and how to show that you are maximizing it. A sure way to justify whatever you believe needs to be done. 5635

Information Architecture with XML A management strategy.

Brown, Peter Wiley ISBN 0 471 486795 We all have difficulty, with the term "information". Our own opinion is that this is because any definition is providing information and a definition in terms of itself is no definition. Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a means of providing information about the gobits (called objects) of information to be handled by an information system XML provides a means of classification, group description or anything else of that ilk. Theauthor does not give us a term. By designing an information system in terms of "types of objects" identified by user supplied XML tags the users and designers are freed from the constraints of a specific information design That sentence probably causes our reader as much difficulty as the opening sentence of this review and is a further indication of the need for the leap to freedom provided by XML. This is a management book intended to explain how XML can be exploited for a businesses benefit, which is where the thrust of the use of XML should be 5632
