This book is for everyone involved in quality in an organization. That is everyone. Not only testers and quality assurance people are involved in quality. Also the people responsible for the quality of machines, personnel, training, finance, products, materials, services, methods, procedures, you name it. And especially the management that is responsible for everything in the organization, also the optimal organization of the processes, so that the highest possible quality is realized at a minimum of time and cost.
The general message of this book is: Do what is really necessary and skip what is not. Quality is placed in a broad perspective; it is much more than just the product quality. Organizational aspects are discussed. Also human processes like personal development and self respect are part of quality. We will get into that in chapter 5, where we will discuss every aspect of changes in the organization.
Publisher's Note: The author is also the author of quality courses currently used in Universities today. His Q-Courses will show you how to implement Quality yourself. The Quality Courses advise you to buy the "Q-Course Quality & Organization" book first. Currently in Germany it is possible to do a Q-Course Foundation Course including an exam that is a state approved part of recognized vocational and higher education programs in IT. Also in the UK and the US there is an increasing interest in the Q-Courses for obvious reasons.
