SOFTWARE TESTING : A Practical Approach


Book Description

This thoroughly revised and updated book, now in its second edition, intends to be much more comprehensive book on software testing. The treatment of the subject in the second edition maintains to provide an insight into the practical aspects of software testing, along with the recent technological development in the field, as in the previous edition, but with significant additions. These changes are designed to provide in-depth understanding of the key concepts. Commencing with the introduction, the book builds up the basic concepts of quality and software testing. It, then, elaborately discusses the various facets of verification and validation, methodologies of both static testing and dynamic testing of the software, covering the concepts of structured group examinations, control flow and data flow, unit testing, integration testing, system testing and acceptance testing. The text also focuses on the importance of the cost-benefit analysis of testing processes, test automation, object-oriented applications, client-server and web-based applications. The concepts of testing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software as well as object-oriented testing have been described in detail. Finally, the book brings out the underlying concepts of usability and accessibility testing. Career in software testing is also covered in the book. The book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science and engineering for a course in software testing.




Testing Client/server Systems

SOFTWARE TESTING


Book Description

This concise text provides an insight into practical aspects of software testing and discusses all the recent technological developments in this field including quality assurance. The book also illustrates the specific kinds of problems that software developers often encounter during development of software. The book first builds up the basic concepts inherent in the software development life cycle (SDLC). It then elaborately discusses the metho-dologies of both static testing and dynamic testing of the software, covering the concepts of structured group examinations, control flow and data flow, unit testing, integration testing, system testing and acceptance testing. The text also focuses on the importance of the cost–benefit analysis of testing processes. The concepts of test automation, object-oriented applications, client-server and web-based applications have been covered in detail. Finally, the book brings out the underlying concepts of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software applications and describes the testing methodologies adopted in them. The book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science and engineering for a course in software testing. KEY FEATURES : Provides real-life examples, illustrative diagrams and tables to explain the concepts discussed. Gives a number of assignments drawn from practical experience to help the students in assimilating the concepts in a practical way. Includes model questions in addition to a large number of chapter-end review questions to enable the students to hone their skills and enhance their understanding of the subject matter.

SOFTWARE QUALITY AND TESTING


Book Description

This book is aimed at emphasising the fundamental concepts associated with Software Quality and Software Testing from a balanced perspective of theory and practice. By presenting the information in an abstracted form, this text guides the readers through all aspects of developing quality software (across the entire development life cycle). The book is written around the strategy of error avoidance, error detection (and correction), and error tolerance (as a last resort). This text is well suited for teaching an academic course as a part of the Computer Science and/or Information Technology and/or MCA curriculum, or for conducting an equivalent training programme for professionals. KEY FEATURES : Emphasises on management people issues in quality management Written in bullet point form Chapters follow the natural evolution of quality management




Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement


Book Description

It is often assumed that software testing is based on clearly defined requirements and software development standards. However, testing is typically performed against changing, and sometimes inaccurate, requirements. The third edition of a bestseller, Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement, Third Edition provides a continuous quality framework for the software testing process within traditionally structured and unstructured environments. This framework aids in creating meaningful test cases for systems with evolving requirements. This completely revised reference provides a comprehensive look at software testing as part of the project management process, emphasizing testing and quality goals early on in development. Building on the success of previous editions, the text explains testing in a Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) environment, the building blocks of a Testing Center of Excellence (COE), and how to test in an agile development. Fully updated, the sections on test effort estimation provide greater emphasis on testing metrics. The book also examines all aspects of functional testing and looks at the relation between changing business strategies and changes to applications in development. Includes New Chapters on Process, Application, and Organizational Metrics All IT organizations face software testing issues, but most are unprepared to manage them. Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement, Third Edition is enhanced with an up-to-date listing of free software tools and a question-and-answer checklist for choosing the best tools for your organization. It equips you with everything you need to effectively address testing issues in the most beneficial way for your business.




Automated Software Testing


Book Description
