Features: The tests presented in this book are not the conventional, rule-bound testing based on written test plans, nor do they delve into complex testing theories. Instead, they are directly oriented towards practical applications, enabling testers to conduct "free" testing. The book proposes the concept of attacking software, implementing attacks from three easily vulnerable aspects: the user interface, the file system interface, and the operating system interface. It utilizes the developed software to help testers capture exceptions and enforce general errors, ultimately enabling them to discover more and faster errors in software, improve it, and enhance its quality. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, as well as a reference manual for software developers, testers, and software managers.
