About this title

Synopsis

This updated and reorganized Fifth edition of Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach continues to be a valuable reference for software testers, developers, and engineers, by applying the strong mathematics content of previous editions to a coherent treatment of software testing.

Responding to instructor and student survey input, the authors have streamlined chapters and examples. The Fifth Edition:

• Has a new chapter on feature interaction testing that explores the feature interaction problem and explains how to reduce tests
• Uses Java instead of pseudo-code for all examples including structured and object-oriented ones
• Presents model-based development and provides an explanation of how to conduct testing within model-based development environments
• Explains testing in waterfall, iterative, and agile software development projects
• Explores test-driven development, reexamines all-pairs testing, and explains the four contexts of software testing

Thoroughly revised and updated, Software Testing: A Craftsman’s Approach, Fifth Edition is sure to become a standard reference for those who need to stay up to date with evolving technologies in software testing.

About the Author

Paul C. Jorgensen, Ph.D., spent 20 years of his first career developing, supporting, and testing telephone switching systems. Since 1986, he has been teaching graduate courses in software engineering, first at Arizona State University, and then at Grand Valley State University. As of August 2017, he became a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Grand Valley State University. He claims he is not retired, he just has a 7-day weekend, every week. Paul is a co-author of two McGraw-Hill books (1970 and 1992). In addition to his software testing book, he is the author of two other CRC Press books: Modeling Software Behavior-A Craftsman’s Approach and The Craft of Model-Based Testing. He has reactivated his consulting practice, Software Paradigms, working with companies in Europe and North America.
Byron DeVries, Ph.D., currently teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in software engineering at Grand Valley State University. Previously, he directed the testing of flight-worthy avionics software during his 12-year career in the aviation systems industry. His research interests are the in the modeling and verification of high-assurance adaptive cyber-physical systems.
