The book Agile Software Development Quality Assurance was just published this week:
I contributed a chapter on Test-Driven Development, written from an industry perspective. Many other contributions were academic in nature – interesting in their own right, but I was pleased to add an on-the-ground flavor to the book.
I was shocked at the pricing however – evidently IGI only likes shelf space in select university libraries. My next publishing endeavor will no doubt be more consumer-friendly.

Nice, Scott, congratulations. I’d like to say I’ll buy the book, but…gulp.
Congrats Scott! Agreed on the price, a little steep. I look forward to your next (commercially oriented) endeavor. -brenda
Good to see that you have joined the ranks of being an author…
Thanks for your comments all!
And when are your next books coming out?
It is very disappointing to see the Not-so-agile price of this book. It automatically dismisses it from my list of books to read. It was an automatic decision based on reputation of book prices. Did you know how much it was going to be before you contributed to the book and what was your reaction?
I had no idea what the price was going to be, and my reaction was shock. And trust me I’m not getting rich off this.
But I was writing for other reasons and am happy with my contribution. I think I will get more readers from my blog that this publishing endeavor.
