Effective Software Testing explores fifty critically important best practices, pitfalls, and solutions. Gleaned from the author's extensive practical experience, these concrete items will enable quality assurance professionals and test managers to immediately enhance their understanding and skills, avoid costly mistakes, and implement a state-of-the-art testing program.

This book places special emphasis on the integration of testing into all phases of the software development life cycle--from requirements definition to design and final coding. The fifty lessons provided here focus on the key aspects of software testing: test planning, design, documentation, execution, managing the testing team, unit testing, automated testing, nonfunctional testing, and more.

You will learn to:

Base testing efforts on a prioritized feature schedule

Estimate test preparation and execution

Define the testing team roles and responsibilities

Design test procedures as soon as requirements are available

Derive effective test cases from requirements

Avoid constraints and detailed data elements in test procedures

Make unit-test execution part of the build process

Use logging to increase system testability

Test automated test tools on an application prototype

Automate regression tests whenever possible

Avoid sole reliance on capture/playback

Conduct performance testing with production-sized databases

Tailor usability tests to the intended audience

Isolate the test environment from the development environment

Implement a defect tracking life cycle

Throughout the book, numerous real-world case studies and concrete examples illustrate the successful application of these important principles and techniques.

Effective Software Testing provides ready access to the expertise and advice of one of the world's foremost software quality and testing authorities.
