Software Test Design Through Behavioral Modeling

Author Shel Prince presents a groundbreaking methodology for software-testing design that assures fewer bugs and thoroughly tested software applications in less time, and with less hassle, than traditional methods. The breakthrough involves Behavioral Modeling, a technique that produces the minimum size test suite for the maximum testing coverage. Addressing the three biggest problems facing anyone responsible for testing software—time constraints, too many bugs, and inadequate requirements—author Prince offers systematic and concrete solutions to these problems providing a scalable, actionable approach valid in an enterprise or boutique development environment. Sure to become a classic in the world of software testing best practices, Software Test Design through Behavioral Modeling removes the guesswork from test suite design and empowers end-users, developers, testers and project managers with the tools they need to move their projects into go-live status with confidence.
