Quality-Driven SDLC: Integrating Best Practices with the Nine Quality Wheels presents a modern, structured approach to software development—one that moves beyond process compliance and embeds quality at the core of every activity. This book bridges the gap between traditional SDLC models and the real-world demands of reliability, security, performance, usability, and maintainability.
Built around a control-centric SDLC and the innovative Nine Quality Wheels, this book offers a unified view of how teams can benchmark, design, code, test, and deploy software with measurable quality outcomes. It introduces a consolidated repository of best practices, a vulnerability database, and a clear mapping of responsibilities across developers, users, owners, and project leads.
Whether you’re a novice developer, a team lead, a quality engineer, or a researcher, this book provides actionable guidance to strengthen software practices, optimize workflows, and elevate product reliability. It is a practical and comprehensive reference for anyone seeking to modernize their understanding of SDLC and make quality a shared responsibility across the entire development lifecycle.
