The concluding sections of the book provide excellent summaries of the various Software Process standards/guidelines covering the SEI/CMM, ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE), Bootstrap, ISO 9000, Trillium and others..... With a forward from Watts Humphrey, a preface by the SEI's Mark Paulk, well ordered layout and copious use of diagrams, charts and tables, Dr Zahran's book will provide rewarding reading and an excellent reference work for anyone who is intent on bringing about software process improvement."
