We shipped the camera ready manuscript to Wiley yesterday, and it's headed to Malloy printing ... if the schedule holds, it will be a bound book by the end of the month.
And naturally, a reader of a draft pointed out an error today (in a table in the combinatorial testing chapter). Sigh. Time to start compiling errata sheets.
Of course, if it were possible to completely avoid errors, or to absolutely scrub them through human processes, a book about software testing and analysis would not be needed. We'd just prescribe the right magic fairy dust for bug-free software and be done with it. It's the critical shortage of magic fairy dust that makes it a challenging enough problem to motivate a lot of researchers developing a lot of different and complementary approaches that require some real understanding and problem-solving skill to use well.
