Summary
"In addition to all the major software testing topics - such as higher-order testing, white- and black-box testing, debugging, code inspections, and walkthroughs - this fully updated Second Edition features up-to-date information on testing twenty-first-century software projects, including Internet-based e-commerce applications, as well as details on Extreme Testing, which supports the widely used Extreme Programming development methodology." "Just like the first edition, this revision fills the gaps in the professional literature and provides a practical, rather than theoretical, discussion of the purpose, nature, and principles of proper testing. While the book focuses on methodologies for the design of effective test cases, it also covers the psychological and economic issues that are essential to a full understanding of program testing." "Many programming students enter the work-force without the proper understanding of software testing. This book covers all the essential topics for those students, but also provides all the detail and precision that working programmers might need during the testing phase. Appropriate for programmers and students at any level, The Art of Software Testing, Second Edition presents all the latest new ideas and techniques - many illustrated with helpful examples. This guide includes code-inspection checklists, a self-assessment test, and other resources programmers need for effective testing - and fewer bugs."--BOOK JACKET.
