Houman Younessi discussed topics from his recent book Object-Oriented Defect Management of Software. This talk followed 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. 

Read Chapter 1 of Object Oriented Defect Management.
