Almost Done
We are almost done with the manuscript for the German edition (preorder at Amazon.de) of the book. In a couple of days we can focus on getting the manuscript for the English edition (preorder at Amazon.com) ready for the publisher.

Update
It has been quiet on this website since we posted the last contributed chapter abstract in June and it is time to give you an update. But first, allow me to refresh your memory on the list of contributed chapters:
Once we have finished the manuscript for the German edition, we will start working on the manuscript for the English edition. Hopefully, this process will be much faster as we only need to translate a couple of chapters from German to English. We are hopeful that the English edition will be available not much later than the German edition.
As we only have a deadline for the German edition so far and since we received the majority of contributed chapters in English, Stefan and I are currently busy translating the contributed chapters from English to German in an effort to meet our deadline. We are currently looking at a release date for the German edition in late spring / early summer of 2010.

Introduction
Stefan Priebsch and myself, Sebastian Bergmann, are writing a book on "Quality Assurance in PHP Projects". The book will be published in English and German at the same time later this year.
The idea for the book is that Stefan Priebsch and I write the introductory as well as the concluding chapters while other authors contribute case studies for the middle part of the book.
The case study authors will not always agree with each other. In fact, we invite different opinions on how problems are solved to give the readers not "one single truth" but provide different approaches to problems and views on issues.
Our motivation to write this book is simple: there is no such book on the market and from our experience a book such as this is needed. We get questions from our clients all the time: which book can I get for my developers or recommend to potential job applicants as required reading for the topic of web application quality assurance? This book will be the answer to these questions.
The list of case study authors includes contributors to well-known Open Source projects from the PHP community as well as developers working on some of the largest websites built using PHP, which happen to be some of the Web's most popular sites. Other contributing authors write about practices and tools.
Over the course of the next weeks, we will introduce each case study author together with the case study he or she is contributing to the book.
