Summary

Are your systems build for change?
Are you measuring technical debt?
Are you suffering from low developer productivity?

If you cannot answer these questions, this ebook is written for you! Within 90 pages you will understand the most important software quality concepts.

Learn about controlling and monitoring software quality through an analogy, no matter your background!

After reading this ebook you'll understand the KPI's to assess a software system. It goes without saying that this example is a gross simplification of reality.

This ebook covers the 8 essential software quality conceptsneeded to excel. Learning the most important concepts does not have to be hard. Learning and thus uncovering your blind spots is the first step. The 8 essential concepts are:

	1. lines of code,
	2. duplication,
	3. unit size,
	4. unit complexity,
	5. unit interfacing,
	6. module coupling,
	7. component balance,
	8. component independence.

So, after reading this ebook you'll be able to challenge or assess the ‘software health’ of a application on a fine-grained level based on these 8 essential concepts.

Can you explain these concepts without showing code?
Yes. The concepts are technology independent and are explained by making use of analogies. 

Why should I buy this book?
Only buy when you are new to software quality and want a complete beginners’ perspective. This ebook is specifically developed for:

	Software architects that care about the 'health' of the system. 
	Product owners / project managers / software managers / architecture assurance managers that build software systems,
	Anyone interested in the basics of software quality, explained in layman’s terms;

I’m fully convinced of the benefits, but I don’t see why I should learn all this from you.
True, let me explain by giving you an overview of my experience:

	Software quality consultant. I've advised many managers of large / small IT projects on various software related aspects;
	Quality assurance engineer. I have implemented large IT systems for large companies.

I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Cheers,
Soerin

    Bridging Spirit and Science -...

    Spirit and Science are viewed as opposing views. I have lived my life in the middle of this divide. Trained as an engineer and scientist, I was taught to trust logic, mathematics, and experimental proof.  
    Yet my personal experiences — from moments of prophecy to direct awareness of subtle energies — convinced me that there is more to reality than conventional science admits.  
    For years I tried to keep the two worlds separate: the rational and the mystical. But over time, the boundary dissolved. I realized that both perspectives describe the same universe from different vantage points.  
    My work, and this book in particular, is about restoring the unity that once existed between them. 
    The purpose of this book is not to replace science with mysticism, nor to reduce spiritual experience to chemistry or neurology. Rather, it aims to show that consciousness, energy, and matter are aspects of a single integrated system.

    An enchanting guide to living more in tune with ourselves, our community, and our planet by embodying the innate qualities of the wondrous mycelial world. 
     
    The more we start to live like mushrooms, author Madison Murphy Barney argues, the more healthy, just, and abundant our lives will be. Unlike other mushroom-focused books, Our Ancestors Want Us to Be Mushrooms isn't a foraging guide, a scientific examination of fungi, or a glimpse into the powers of psilocybin. Rather, it weaves the guiding attributes of mushrooms and ancestral wisdom into an inspiring metaphor that calls us back into right relationship with each other and with our planet. 
     
    The book is cleverly divided into eight traits of mushrooms from which humans can seek guidance: humility; beauty and delight; creativity and unique gifts; living in cycles and decomposition; protection; healing and nourishment; flexibility and adaptability; and mystery and room for magic. 
    Written with warmth, spirit, and whimsy, Our Ancestors Want Us to Be Mushrooms enchants listeners into a more engaged life with the world and themselves.
