Software Testing Tools

Description

In software, the tools are grouped by the testing activities or areas that are supported by a set of tools, for example; tools that support management activities. There are things that computers can do more efficiently and quickly than people can do. For example, to add up 20 three-digit numbers quickly. A computer does this accurately and very quickly. At times, if people are asked to do exactly the same work over and over, it will be monotonous and tedious and they will be prone to making mistakes.

There are many approaches to software testing that attempt to control the quality of the testing process, to yield useful information about the quality of the software being tested. Although most testing research is concentrated on finding effective testing techniques, it is also imperative to make software that can be effectively tested. For a more intuitive testability characteristic, it is best to maximise the probability of faults being detected during testing, while minimising the probability of faults that can lead to failure, after delivery.

This is a thoroughly researched, practical and comprehensive book that aims to introduce you to the concepts of software quality assurance and testing process, and helps you achieve high performance levels. It equips you with the requisite practical expertise in the most widely used software testing tools, and motivates you to take up software quality assurance and software testing as a potential career option. The author is a well-reputed subject expert.
