From Book News, Inc.
A consultant in software testing compiles all the important current
test design approaches into a single volume so software testers do
not have to search for them one by one elsewhere. In a practical rather
than theoretical treatment, he introduces each technique with a simple
example, then explains the details, what types of problems it can
be used with, and its limitations. Exercises are included for self-study
for classroom application.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc.,
