Software Testing

by Yogesh Singh

Software testing is conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of a product under testing. The book, which is a result of the two decades of teaching experience of the author, aims to present testing concepts and methods that can be used in practice. The text will help readers to learn how to find faults in software before it is made available to users. A judicious mix of software testing concepts, solved problems and real-life case studies makes the book ideal for a basic course in software testing. The book will be a useful resource for senior undergraduate/graduate students of engineering, academics, software practitioners and researchers.

This book is best for testing

I did not read enough of this to be able to assign a fair star review. I did read enough of it to know that I can't read more of it. It may have benefitted from editorial review by a native speaker of the Queen's English; however, as indicated by the many other positive ratings here, it is possible that the linguistic style employed herein may be quite natural to and readily comprehensible by those who learned English in former Crown Colonies such as India.

An illustrative sample from the introduction: "Unfortunately, the navigation system of Ariane 4 was used in Ariane 5 without proper testing and analysis. The Ariane 5 was a high speed rocket with a higher value of an internal alignment function, known as horizontal bias. This value is for the calculation of horizontal velocity. On the day of the explosion, this value was more than expectations due to different trajectory of this rocket as compared to Ariane 4. Therefore, the main technical reason was the conversion problem at the time of converting the horizontal bias variable, and this resulted into the shutdown of the computer of the inertial reference system." I have the feeling that this may be as correct in Colonial English as it is incorrect in American English: a comprehensible dialect certainly, but adding enough additional difficulty that, for me, there are better options in my native dialect.

It's good as per college curriculum, but not as per current QA standards followed in the IT industry.
