A hands-on guide to testing techniques that provide a reliable software and systems Testing even a simple system can quickly turn into a potentially infinite task. He presents you with the basic technique for testing and clearly shows you how to choose and implement a successful strategy to test the system with a limited budget and time. Black began by discussing the goals and tactics of effective and efficient testing. Next, he laid the foundation of his technique for risk-based testing, explaining how to analyze, prioritize, and document risks to the quality of the system using both formal and informal techniques. Since this is a hands-on activity, Black includes realistic, life-sized exercises that illustrate all the major test techniques with detailed solutions. At the end of this book, you will know more about the nuts and bolts of testing of the examiners who studied at the whole career, and you are ready to put the ideas into action at the next test project. With the help of real-world examples integrated throughout the chapters, you'll discover how to: * Analyze the risks to the quality system * Allocate your testing effort based on the level of risk appropriate * Select the appropriate testing strategy every time * Design tests based on the expected behavior of the system (black box) or internal structure (white box) * Plan and perform integration testing * Explore and attack the system * Focus your hard work to serve the needs of the project this Web site companion authors provide exercises, tips, and techniques that can be used to gain valuable experience and effectively test software and systems.
