Texts

Seminar Scope:

This seminar is concerned with Testing and Debugging. We are holding a sequence of bi-weekly brown bag meetings (that means you can bring your lunch) where one of us will present a chapter from one of the books cited below, and pictured above. Our intent is to make essentially linear progress through the books, but may change direction as seems appropriate at the time.

Texts and Notes:

Note that both of these texts are on reserve at the Sci-Tech Library in Carnegie Hall.
