Format: PDF

Description: “….the dream team for this topic. If I could have my choice for any 4 authors worldwide on this topic, I’d go with these.” Ross Collard, Attglobal.net

“…there is no-one better placed to ensure that the book is perfectly aligned with the ISTQB” Stuart Reid, founding chair of the ISTQB

"This is a very well-written and readable book on software testing. The authors have done an exceptional job of providing a valuable resource for people seeking the Foundation Level ISTQB certification. The book follows the most recent ISTQB Foundation Level syllabus and provides sample exam questions, along with exercises to reinforce the information provided in the book. Although anyone wanting to learn more about software testing will profit from this book, this is a ’must read’ book for anyone preparing for the Foundation Level ISTQB Certification exam!" - Randy Rice, co-author of Surviving the Top Ten Challenges of Software Testing

"As I would expect with the authors involved, the book was an easy read and included all the pertinent information necessary to prepare for the ISTQB foundations exam. I think that anyone that is considering taking the exam should obtain this book and study it thoroughly. Even engineers that have no interest in taking the exam, would benefit in using this book as one of their prinicpal references on software testing." - Rick Craig, consultant for Software Quality Engineering.

Effective GUI Testing Automation: Developing an Automated GUI Testing Tool

Description:

Have you tried using an "Automated" GUI Testing Tool, only to find that you spent most of your time configuring, adjusting, and directing it ? This book presents a sensible and highly effective alternative: it teaches you to build and use your own truly automated tool. The procedure you'll learn is suitable for virtually and development environment, and the tool allows you to store your test data and verification standard separately, so you can build it once and use it for other GUI's. Most, if not all, of your work can be done without test scripts, collect test data, and generate test cases. You'll spend virtually none of your time playing with the tool or application under test.

Code-intensive examples support all of the book's instruction, which includes these key topics:

* Building a C# API text viewer
* Building a test monkey
* Developing an XML viewer using xPath and other XML-related classes
* Building complex, serializable classes for GUI test verification
* Automatically testing executable GUI applications and user-defined GUI controls
* Testing managed (.NET) and unmanaged GUI applications
* Automatically testing different GUI controls, including Label, TextBox, Button, CheckBox, RadioButton, Menu
* Verifying test results

Effective GUI Test Automation is the perfect complement to Li and Wu's previous book, Effective Software Test Automation: Developing an Automated Software Testing Tool. Together, they provide programmers, testers, designers, and managers with a complete and cohesive way to create a smoother, swifter development process—and, as a result, software that is as bug-free as possible.

Software Testing And Continuous Quality Improvement, Second Edition
Description:

Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement, Second Edition, illustrates a quality framework for software testing in traditional structured and unstructured environments. It explains how a continuous quality improvement approach promotes effective testing, and it analyzes the various testing tools and techniques that you can choose. Section I explains the role of QA principles and best practices in software testing. It provides a detailed overview of basic software testing techniques and an introduction of Deming's concept of quality through a continuous improvement process. This section explores the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) process, which is applied to all aspects of software testing. Section II reviews the software development life cycle and describes how testing and continuous quality improvement are incorporated into each phase of development. Section III details continuous quality improvement as part of the testing process. It breaks down software testing into a series of tasks that apply Deming's PDCA cycle. Section IV discusses fundamental challenges of managing testing projects, whether they are on-site or offshore. You learn how to establish effective test estimations to ensure that testing projects are on track. It also covers strategies for monitoring and managing software defects. Section V contains a brief history of software testing, previews advanced futuristic testing tools, and provides guidance for choosing the proper tool for various environments. It provides examples of some of the most popular products and offers a detailed methodology for evaluating them.
