Practical Tools and Techniques for Managing Hardware and Software Testing.
Intermediate Level Users.
Includes CD-ROM.
This new addition to the acclaimed 'Best Practices' series describes an integrated approach to managing the computer testing process. While other books on testing focus primarily on the act of testing code, this title addresses both software and hardware issues, with proven techniques to ensure overall project quality.
The author presents a set of practical guidelines and "best of field" tools that professional developers, particularly testers and development leads, can use immediately to create and implement effective test suites. You also learn strategic ways to track, analyse, and communicate results to better manage project expectations and outcomes. In particular, test managers can use the tools provided in the book to effectively communicate schedule and quality expectations to other team members. The CD which comes free with the book includes forms and templates for Excel and Access.
