| SOFTWARE TESTING: CONCEPTS AND OPERATIONS |
This book examines the principles, concepts and processes that are fundamental to the software testing function. this book is divided into five broad parts. part i introduces software testing in the broader context of software engineering and explores the qualities that testing aims to achieve or ascertain, as well as the lifecycle of software testing. part ii covers mathematical foundations of software testing, which include software specification, program correctness and verification, concepts of software dependability and a software testing taxonomy. part iii discusses test data generation, specifically, functional criteria and structural criteria. test oracle design, test driver design and test outcome analysis is covered in part iv. finally, part v surveys managerial aspects of software testing, including software metrics, software testing tools and software product line testing.
