This manual pertains to the book "Code Quality: The Open Source Perspective" by Diomidis Spinellis, published by Addison-Wesley Professional on April 3, 2006. This work focuses on the non-functional properties of software, offering insights into meeting critical requirements such as reliability, security, portability, maintainability, and efficiency. Through numerous examples drawn from prominent open-source projects like Apache web and application servers, BSD Unix systems, and the HSQLDB Java database, the book provides practical techniques for professional software developers.
The content of this manual is designed to guide readers through understanding and improving software quality. It covers essential topics including avoiding common programming errors, addressing security vulnerabilities like Trojan Horse attacks, diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks, and managing memory leaks. Additionally, it explores strategies for internationalizing applications and establishing effective code identifier naming conventions, alongside methods for assessing and enhancing test code coverage.
- Page 26: How can I avoid off-by-one errors?
- Page 143: Are Trojan Horse attacks for real?
- Page 158: Where should I look when my application can't handle its workload?
- Page 256: How can I detect memory leaks?
- Page 309: How do I target my application to international markets?
- Page 394: How should I name my code's identifiers?
- Page 441: How can I find and improve the code coverage of my tests?
Diomidis Spinellis' first book, Code Reading, showed programmers how to understand and modify key functional properties of software. Code Quality focuses on non-functional properties, demonstrating how to meet such critical requirements as reliability, security, portability, and maintainability, as well as efficiency in time and space.
Spinellis draws on hundreds of examples from open source projects--such as the Apache web and application servers, the BSD Unix systems, and the HSQLDB Java database--to illustrate concepts and techniques that every professional software developer will be able to appreciate and apply immediately.
