The book is full of hard-won experience cast nicely into prose. It's a very worthwhile read. The author doesn't shy away from explaining difficult or intricate concepts, where necessary, and each point is illustrated with example code from real systems. For example, the chapter on Maintainability opens with four attributes of a maintainable system (from ISO/IEC 9126-1:2001) that really struck a chord with me. Analysability: Finding the location of an error or the part of the software that must be analysed Changeability: Implementing the maintenance change on the system's code Stability: Not breaking anything through the change Testability: Validating the software after the change I know maintainable code when I see it -- it has a certain feel... Up until now though I've often struggled to express that feeling to non-programmers, or perhaps more importantly, to less experienced colleagues. Highly recommended. 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.
