Description
Software Testing offers a synthesis of information in the field of software testing. It brings together the two fundamental approaches-functional and structural-with numerous practical examples and exercises. The material provides the basis for making well-informed choices regarding appropriate techniques.
Part I focuses on the mathematics needed to understand and correctly apply the two fundamental approaches. Parts II and III examine the functional and structural testing techniques. Part IV includes information on integration and system testing. Part V focuses on testing management.
