Summary

Software testing is a critical stage in software development. It is used to ensure that a program meets required specifications and does not contain errors in programming code. As with all stages of software development, in testing there are many traps you can fall into, thereby missing errors. This title provides testers with a handbook of tips, tricks and common pitfalls to help them avoid testing errors without the years of experience, and trial and error it normally takes to do so. Each of the 200 lessons in the book contains an assertion, followed by an explanation and/or example of the testing trouble spot. The lessons are sorted into topic areas such as: test design, test management, testing strategies and bug reporting.
