Are you a VP or Head of Engineering considering the best quality engineering model for your company? Are you a director of Engineering tasked with rolling out a Quality Coach Model? Are you a test lead or software tester shifting to a quality coach role? The Quality Coach Handbook is your practical guide to shifting to a model where the whole team owns quality and in particular software engineers design, build, test and support software. Print version: Paperback and hardcover are available on Amazon. Use your country's Amazon site (e.g., Amazon.com.au for Australia) to minimise shipping time and cost.

Uncover the advanced exploits missed by standard scans. This definitive guide dissects sophisticated 2025 vulnerabilities in injection, authentication/authorization (JWT/SAML/OAuth), SSRF, deserialization, APIs (REST/GraphQL/gRPC), and cloud environments. Essential technical knowledge for serious security professionals.

Get started with Test-Driven Development (write tests before the code), Build Automation (make the overall process of compilation and testing automatic with Maven), and Continuous Integration (commit changes and a server will perform the whole build of your code). Using Java, Eclipse, and their ecosystems.

This book is written for anyone who wants to understand what testing and testing leadership are all about. A better understanding will help to lead and improve your testing - whether testing is outsourced or in-house. CEO, CIO, or CTO - this is the testing book for you, too!

Kalman Filters Made Easy is a clear, intuitive introduction to one of engineering’s most powerful tools for dealing with noisy, imperfect, real‑world data. Instead of drowning you in equations, this book builds deep understanding through real examples — from drifting GPS signals to unpredictable sensor timing — and shows how engineers combine noisy measurements and imperfect models to estimate what’s really happening. If you work with robotics, drones, autonomous systems, or sensor‑driven devices, this guide gives you the mental models you need to design reliable systems in an uncertain world. This reflects the book’s core message: “The world gives us noisy, imperfect measurements. We want clean, reliable, accurate information. The filter is the bridge between the two.”

Your agent's dashboard is green. Your evaluators report an 87% pass rate. Then a customer complaint reveals the system has been confidently fabricating regulatory citations for three weeks. The evaluators weren't broken — they were measuring the wrong things. This field guide exists because the gap between "we have evals" and "our evals actually protect us" is larger than most teams realize.
