Success Criteria for Software Quality
Software defect / error prevention and software quality have been constantly improved over the past years, e.g. by applying various methods and measures and using modern programming languages.As the complexity and the scale of the software (SW) that has to designed are continually growing, it is necessary for the software quality to keep in step with this development. However, keeping in step is not enough because software applications are used more and more in security-related areas where e.g. human lives are at risk.One aspect of a further optimization of SW quality therefore is the determination of the success criteria that lead to a further prevention of errors. This prevention of software errors is especially important in the initial phases of software development.The following text therefore shows the essential success criteria for reducing errors and consequently further improving SW quality. The author determined these success criteria in an extensive analysis, e.g. by thorough review of relevant literature, results of congresses on SW quality, interviews and considerable own professional experience.In the interviews with 18 experts in 3 countries, the determined success criteria were assessed regarding their importance, effectiveness and degree of networking. The results are shown in various figures and also explained.Other analyses of the success criteria will be / have already been published by the author on Amazon.com/.de.The assessment of the success criteria enables the reader and user of these criteria to set the right priorities for the optimization of SW quality during software development.Keywords: software, software development, software quality, error prevention, success criteria, importance of the success criteria, effectiveness of the success criteria, practical application.

SQL Server Data Automation Through Frameworks
Learn to automate SQL Server operations using frameworks built from metadata-driven stored procedures and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Bring all the power of Transact-SQL (T-SQL) and Microsoft .NET to bear on your repetitive data, data integration, and ETL processes. Do this for no added cost over what you've already spent on licensing SQL Server. The tools and methods from this book may be applied to on-premises and Azure SQL Server instances. The SSIS framework from this book works in Azure Data Factory (ADF) and provides DevOps personnel the ability to execute child packages outside a project--functionality not natively available in SSIS.Frameworks not only reduce the time required to deliver enterprise functionality, but can also accelerate troubleshooting and problem resolution. You'll learn in this book how frameworks also improve code quality by using metadata to drive processes. Much of the work performed by data professionals can be classified as "drudge work"--tasks that are repetitive and template-based. The frameworks-based approach shown in this book helps you to avoid that drudgery by turning repetitive tasks into "one and done" operations. Frameworks as described in this book also support enterprise DevOps with built-in logging functionality. What You Will LearnCreate a stored procedure framework to automate SQL process executionBase your framework on a working system of stored procedures and execution loggingCreate an SSIS framework to reduce the complexity of executing multiple SSIS packagesDeploy stored procedure and SSIS frameworks to Azure Data Factory environments in the cloudWho This Book Is ForDatabase administrators and developers who are involved in enterprise data projects built around stored procedures and SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Readersshould have a background in programming along with a desire to optimize their data efforts by implementing repeatable processes that support enterprise DevOps.
The Common LISP Condition System
Discover the functioning and example uses of the Common Lisp condition system. This book supplements already existing material for studying Common Lisp as a language by providing detailed information about the Lisp condition system and its control flow mechanisms; it also describes an example ANSI-conformant implementation of the condition system. In part 1 of The Common Lisp Condition System, the author introduces the condition system using a bottom-up approach, constructing it piece by piece. He uses a storytelling approach to convey the foundation of the condition system, dynamically providing code to alter the behavior of an existing program. Later, in part 2, you'll implement a full and complete ANSI-conformant condition system while examining and testing each piece of code that you write. Throughout, the author demonstrates how to extend Lisp using Lisp itself by using the condition system as an example. This is done while paying proper attention to the CL restart subsystem, giving it attention on a par with the handler subsystem. After reading and using this book, you'll have learned about the inner functioning of the condition system, how to use it in your own Common Lisp coding and applications, and how to implement it from scratch, should such a need arise. What You Will LearnExamine the condition system and see why it is important in Common LispConstruct the condition system from scratch using foundational mechanisms provided by Common LispProgram the condition system and its control flow mechanisms to achieve practical resultsImplement all parts of a condition system: conditions, restarts, handler- and restart-binding macros, signalling mechanisms, assertions, a debugger, and more Who This Book Is For Beginning and intermediate Lisp programmers, as well as intermediate programmers of other programming languages.

Sequential and Parallel Algorithms and Data Structures
This textbook is a concise introduction to the basic toolbox of structures that allow efficient organization and retrieval of data, key algorithms for problems on graphs, and generic techniques for modeling, understanding, and solving algorithmic problems. The authors aim for a balance between simplicity and efficiency, between theory and practice, and between classical results and the forefront of research. Individual chapters cover arrays and linked lists, hash tables and associative arrays, sorting and selection, priority queues, sorted sequences, graph representation, graph traversal, shortest paths, minimum spanning trees, optimization, collective communication and computation, and load balancing. The authors also discuss important issues such as algorithm engineering, memory hierarchies, algorithm libraries, and certifying algorithms. Moving beyond the sequential algorithms and data structures of the earlier related title, this book takes into account the paradigm shift towards the parallel processing required to solve modern performance-critical applications and how this impacts on the teaching of algorithms. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students and professionals familiar with programming and basic mathematical language. Most chapters have the same basic structure: the authors discuss a problem as it occurs in a real-life situation, they illustrate the most important applications, and then they introduce simple solutions as informally as possible and as formally as necessary so the reader really understands the issues at hand. As they move to more advanced and optional issues, their approach gradually leads to a more mathematical treatment, including theorems and proofs. The book includes many examples, pictures, informal explanations, and exercises, and the implementation notes introduce clean, efficient implementations in languages such as C++ and Java.
