      abstract = {This book reviews existing operational software failure  analysis techniques and proposes near-miss analysis as a  novel, and new technique for investigating and preventing  software failures. The authors provide details on how  near-miss analysis techniques focus on the time-window  before the software failure actually unfolds, so as to  detect the high-risk conditions that can lead to a major  failure. They detail how by alerting system users of an  upcoming software failure, the detection of near misses  provides an opportunity to collect at runtime  failure-related data that is complete and relevant. They  present a near-miss management systems (NMS) for detecting  upcoming software failures, which can contribute  significantly to the improvement of the accuracy of the  software failure analysis. A prototype of the NMS is  implemented and is discussed in the book. The authors give  a practical hands-on approach towards doing software  failure investigations by means of near-miss analysis that  is of use to industry and academia. Investigates software  failures in an operational environment through near-miss  analysis; Studies recent and major software failures of  significant magnitude; Provides a design of an architecture  for a Near-Miss Management System.},
