Software testing can be regarded as an art, a craft, and a science. The practical, step-by-step approach presented in this book provides a bridge between these different viewpoints. A single worked example runs throughout, with consistent use of test automation. Each testing technique is introduced in the context of this example, helping students see its strengths and weaknesses. The technique is then explained in more detail, providing a deeper understanding of underlying principles. Finally the limitations of each technique are demonstrated by inserting faults, giving learners concrete examples of when each technique succeeds or fails in finding faults. Coverage includes black-box testing, white-box testing, random testing, unit testing, object-oriented testing, and application testing. The authors also emphasise the process of applying the techniques, covering the steps of analysis, test design, test implementation, and interpretation of results. The book's web site has programming exercises and Java source code for all examples.
Read more- A single running example is demonstrated in progressively more complex approaches, so students can easily see the strengths and limitations of each approach in theory and practice
- Test automation is used consistently throughout in TestNG, Selenium, and JaCoCo which provide good representative examples of the range of available tools
- Programming exercises are provided on the web, along with Java source code for all the worked examples in the book
Reviews & endorsements
'The book 'Essentials of Software Testing' provides an excellent introductory text, that I recommend for students and teachers. It focuses on foundational, fundamental techniques. There are a large number of well-chosen code examples which assume that the reader has a good understanding of Java. The different testing techniques are well-explained and analysed using simple models, requiring understanding of foundational data structures. An enjoyable read.' J. Paul Gibson, Telecom Sud Paris
