Synopsis: From the Jacket: Given the amount of time and money spent in testing computer programs, and given the serious consequences of program errors in computing systems, one would expect that software testing would be a highly developed and widely understood skill. Actually, this is not the case at all. Less seems to be known about software testing than about any other aspect of software evelopment.
This book fills the gap in professional literature and provides a practical, rather than theoretical, discussion of the purpose and nature of software testing. While the main emphasis of the book is on methodologies for the design of effective test cases, it also comprehensively covers the psychological and economic issues that are essential to the understanding of program testing. In addition, THE ART OF SOFTWARE TESTING provides pertinent information and practical advice on the managerial aspects of testing, test tools, higher-order testing, debugging, and code inspections. The important concept of non-computer-based code walkthroughs or inspections is discussed from a technical "how-to-find-errors" point of view rather than from a procedural or managerial aspect.
THE ART OF SOFTWARE TESTING contains many new ideas and techniques which are illustrated with examples. Programmers at all levels, and programming students, will find the comprehensive information, as well as the formidable inspection checklist, the self-assessment test, and the up-to- date information on existing literature in the field, indispensable.
