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.

AI-generated code can look flawless while hiding invented APIs, security gaps and subtle logic errors. This practical guide shows you how to build production-ready analyzers that catch what tests miss, from taint tracking and symbolic execution to custom rules for CI/CD and IDEs.

Holistic testing is a comprehensive term to encompass testing throughout the development cycle from the start of an idea, through to customer interaction with a delivered feature. All members of a delivery team think about testing and quality from the beginning and throughout the cycle.  This book is about the Holistic Testing Model and how to apply it to develop a quality and testing strategy for the whole team. If you care about quality – no matter what your specialty or role in your organization is – we think you’ll find it helpful. UI/UX designers, product owners, programmers, testers, database experts, business analysts, site reliability and platform engineers, and more – this model will guide you as you collaborate to continually improve your process and product. 

You are not losing velocity because your engineers are slow. You are losing velocity because every line of untested code is a landmine your team laid for itself — and sooner or later, someone steps on it. This is the book that explains why. No syntax. No tutorials. Just the argument, the evidence, and the standard your team should already be held to. A 30-minute read that changes how you lead software quality forever.

What if your biggest obstacle isn't effort, but flow?Thinking in Bottlenecks reveals how the hidden constraints around you—and inside you—are the true culprits behind slow results, wasted effort, and stalled progress. Inspired by the legendary Theory of Constraints, this book blends systems engineering, Lean thinking, and real-world experience into a practical mindset for solving anything faster

Modern software delivery demands more than fast pipelines. It requires systems built for reliability, security and scale. This book shows how to design and run CI/CD as a production platform, with practical patterns, real world examples and proven strategies that help teams deliver software with confidence.

In this practical guide, Dr. Mohammed Hamed Ahmed Soliman, author of Toyota Production System Concepts: SMED – How to Do a Quick Changeover and Heijunka: The Leveling Art of the Japanese Auto Industry, distills decades of industrial engineering and Lean transformation experience into actionable insights. You'll learn how:

This is your complete guide to building rhythmic, waste-free production cells that deliver quality at speed—just in time.

Quality Statistics Made Simple! Brainstorming is a conceptualizing process that is well-known for producing a large number of ideas in a short period of time. It serves as a tool for identifying difficulties and causes. This book offers an in-depth guide to the tool.

Rooted in just-in-time (JIT) and jidoka (built-in quality), TPS is much more than a manufacturing tool—it’s a philosophy of continuous improvement, flow, and respect for people. This book set breaks down Toyota’s 13 core pillars and shows how they work together to eliminate waste, ensure quality, and increase productivity.

Great software is built through great reviews. This book shows you how to spot hidden bugs, improve design, strengthen security, and review AI-generated code with confidence. Packed with practical examples and proven techniques, it helps you write better software in a world where humans and AI build code together.
