Houman Younessi will discuss topics from his recent book Object-Oriented Defect Management of Software. This talk follows Dr. Younessi's approach that attaches equal importance to defect identification, correction, and prevention in any object-oriented development project and is regardless of methodology, notation, language, or size. Dr. Younessi's book includes techniques that cover every stage of the development process, including planning, design, architecture, coding, and testing. He will discuss a number of such techniques pointing out hands-on tools, templates, and checklists you can start using today.
