The Art of Software Testing Now covers testing for usability, smartphone apps, and agile development environments

The classic, landmark work on software testing

The hardware and software of computing have changed markedly in the three decades since the first edition of The Art of Software Testing, but this book's powerful underlying analysis has stood the test of time. Whereas most books on software testing target particular development techniques, languages, or testing methods, The Art of Software Testing, Third Edition provides a brief but powerful and comprehensive presentation of time-proven software testing approaches. If your software development project is mission critical, this book is an investment that will pay for itself with the first bug you find.

The new Third Edition explains how to apply the book's classic principles to today's hot topics including:
* Testing apps for iPhones, iPads, BlackBerrys, Androids, and other mobile devices
* Collaborative (user) programming and testing
* Testing for Internet applications, e-commerce, and agile programming environments

Whether you're a student looking for a testing guide you'll use for the rest of your career, or an IT manager overseeing a software development team, The Art of Software Testing, Third Edition is an expensive book that will pay for itself many times over.

Although the hardware and software of computing has changed markedly in the three decades since the first edition of The Art of Software Testing has been on the shelves, its underlying analysis of the concepts of software testing has stood the test of time.  However, software technology and software development procedures have changed even during the life of the second edition.  Today's developers tend to focus more on team design and development.  New development concepts such as agile and collaborative programming dictate required testing and validation methods. The third edition adds three important chapters to cover agile and collaborative programming and testing, plus testing applications for mobile devices. We also will expand coverage of testing for the Internet and online e-commerce environments. This is an excellent all-purpose reference to the topic of software testing. Since the second edition, many new books have been added to the genre. However, most of the competitive titles target particular development techniques, languages, or testing methods.
