Overview of Software Testing Book

This second edition of Software Testing serves as a textbook for students of computer science, information technology and computer applications. The book focuses on software testing, not only as a phase of software development life cycle (SDLC), but also as a complete process to fulfil the demands of quality software.Beginning with an introduction to software testing terminology and methodology and verification and validation activities, the book provides an exhaustive coverage of testing techniques including dynamic and static testing, various validation activities and regression testing. The book then delves into the various stages of the testing process life cycle such as test process management, testing metrics, efficient test suite management, debugging and quality management.The book covers ready-to-use checklists that can be used at the time of verification of software and extends to cover a case study on Income Tax Calculator describing all the major software testing techniques and concepts in a practical manner, thus making this book a valuable reference for testing professionals as well.Key features: Advocates the notion of effective and systematic software testing in place of exhaustive testing Provides a comprehensive coverage of software testing techniques through a large number of test cases and diagrams Covers testing techniques for two specialized environments: object-oriented software and web-based software Includes a large number of examples, multiple-choice questions and unsolved problems for practiceNew to the Second Edition A chapter on Agile Testing focusing on the agile testing methodology which has gained importance in recent years Strengthened coverage of dynamic testing techniques, with the inclusion of robust worst-case testing method, orthogonal array testing strategy, predicate coverage and path sensitization Test case prioritization techniques based on data flow, module-coupling slice and program structure analysis Testing techniques such as reliability testing and system testing based on use-cases Additional examples on black-box and white-box testing techniques An appendix (available online) which provides an overview of the working environment and components of CAST tools such as Meter, Unit and Selenium Praise for the Book Systematic and detailed coverage of software testing concepts and its processes. The best book on the subject. K. Anil Kumar, Indore Institute of Science and Technology A very good book for testing methodology.
