Once upon a time (or should that be "Long, long ago in a..." but I digress), I worked for a software startup company where time and man-(people)-power were limited. At one point or another, we all wore a variety of hats including tech support and (gasp) software testers. It's an incredibly daunting and involved task and the company was always struggling to define just when they could/should release the next version of their product. They eventually went under (not because the product was bad but because of more "administrative issues"...but that's another story) and I was released from the responsibility of wearing many hats. Still, the fascination of designing, testing, and deploying software has never really left me.
A sentence from the back cover caught my attention: "If you're a developer and don't want to be on call at 3 a.m. for the rest of your life, this book will help". Up until a few months ago, I worked with a group of software engineers who designed and deployed software apps for an enterprise (read "multinational") environment and they all took turns on call. Not that they didn't do good work (they did and do very good work) but I started wondering if they might want to add Deploy It! to their library.
