About this title

Synopsis

Professional testing of software is an essential task that requires a profound knowledge of testing techniques. The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) has developed a universally accepted, international qualification scheme aimed at software and system testing professionals, and has created the Syllabi and Tests for the “Certified Tester.” Today, hundreds of thousands of people have taken the ISTQB certification exams.

The authors of Software Testing Foundations, 5th Edition, are among the creators of the Certified Tester Syllabus and are currently active in the ISTQB. This thoroughly revised and updated fifth edition covers the “Foundations Level” (entry level) and teaches the most important methods of software testing. It is designed for self-study and provides the information necessary to pass the Certified Tester–Foundations Level exam, as defined by the ISTQB. Also in this new edition, technical terms have been precisely stated according to the ISTQB glossary.

Topics covered:

• Fundamentals of Testing

• Testing and the Software Lifecycle

• Static and Dynamic Testing Techniques

• Test Management

• Test Tools
