Overview
How to Design for Software Reliability, Security, and Maintainability Many enterprises unfortunately depend on software that is insecure, unreliable, and fragile. They compensate by investing heavily in workarounds and maintenance, and by employing hordes of gurus to manage their systems' flaws. This must change. And it can. In this book, respected software architect Clifford J. Berg shows how to design high-assurance applications--applications with proven, built-in reliability, security, manageability, and maintainability. High-Assurance Design presents basic design principles and patterns that can be used in any contemporary development environment and satisfy the business demand for agility, responsiveness, and low cost. Berg draws on real-world experience, focusing heavily on the activities and relationships associated with building superior software in a mainstream business environment.Practicing architects, lead designers, and technical managers will benefit from the coverage of the entire software lifecycle, showing how to: * Understand and avoid the problems that lead to unreliable, insecure software * Refocus design and development resources to improve software * Identify project risks and plan for assurable designs * Obtain the requirements needed to deliver high assurance * Design application systems that meet the identified requirements * Verify that the design satisfies these requirements * Plan and design tests for reliability and security * Integrate security design, reliability design, and application design into one coherent set of processes * Incorporate these concerns into any software development methodology A(c) Copyright Pearson Education.

Author Information
Cliff Berg has been a pioneer in the use of Internet technologies and software development methodologies to build scalable and reliable enterprise systems. Cliff was co-founder and CTO of Digital Focus, a company that specializes in the use of Agile methods for developing enterprise-class systems, profitably executes most projects on a fixed-price basis, and which was voted the eighth fastest growing company in the Washington DC metropolitan area based on five years of revenue growth. Cliff was also a member of the team that developed the feature-driven design (FDD) approach (a pre-agile methodology) from 1997 to 1999; the team also included Peter Coad, Jeff DeLuca, and David Anderson. Today, Cliff is president and founder of Assured By Design, which helps enterprises incorporate assurance into their software creation processes and systems – without sacrificing agility. In addition to assurance-based agile and FDD methodologies, Cliff is an expert in architectural quality audits and assessments in the areas of design integrity and scalability, and is a world-renowned expert on J2EE technologies. Cliff was the sole author of Advanced Java Development For Enterprise Applications, published by Prentice Hall under Sun Microsystems' official Java Series and translated into Japanese, and the very first book to cover Java enterprise application architecture issues in an in-depth manner. Cliff also authored the 800 page second edition, Advanced Java 2 Development For Enterprise Applications. Cliff has written approximately 30 articles in various magazines, and founded the Java Q&A Column in Dr. Dobbs Journal, which was the most popular Java technology column during the two years that Cliff wrote the column. © Copyright Pearson Education.
