Software Testing: Principles and Practices

Software Testing is specially developed to serve as a text book for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Computer Science Engineering and Information Technology. The book focusses on software testing as not just being the phase of software development life cycle but a complete process to fulfill the demand of quality software. Written in a very lucid style with crisp and to-the-point descriptions, the book covers chapters on the various software testing methodologies, test management, software metrics, software quality assurance, test automation, object-oriented testing and debugging. It also describes all the methods for test case design which is the prime issue for software testing. The book is interactive and includes a large number of test cases, examples, MCQs and unsolved problems for practice.
