Welcome

The Programmer’s Guide to Quality Assurance is a book for software developers about quality assurance. Most books on quality assurance, naturally enough, target QA professionals; and for this reason most developers find them dry and uninteresting, or difficult to connect with. This short book, in contrast, is written for programmers by a programmer.
