Features: The focus of this book is on discussing the practical concerns and information that software test engineers/managers are actually interested in completing more thorough and faster testing. For the same reason, this content is also applicable to software development personnel responsible for test development (i.e., unit and integration testing) as well as certain project system testing. This book also provides meaningful guidance for quality assurance engineers in conducting quality reviews of test design, test procedures, and test activity results. Software project managers responsible for the entire development process can also find value in this book. The book offers project managers guidance on the objectives of testing work and automated testing, as well as instructions on introducing automated testing in a project. It also provides a summary of the process of test planning, design, development, execution, and evaluation of execution. The book elaborates in detail on the six components of the software automated testing lifecycle methodology: automated test planning, analysis, design, development, execution, and management. It explains in detail how to automate testing for client/server and internet applications, and provides numerous best practices examples for software automated testing. The book is well-structured, rich in content, and highly applicable, making it suitable for software testers, software developers, software quality assurance personnel, and software project managers. It can also serve as a reference book for computer science students and faculty in higher education institutions.
