Publisher's Synopsis
Software testing is a race against time: testers must make sure that highly complicated programs will work reliably for the consumer, often with insufficient resources and on unrealistic schedules. This text provides advice on effective bug reporting and tracking, black box testing, printer compatibility tests and software product liability. The book teaches numerous shortcuts and tricks of the trade, including ways to reduce product risk and overall test costs by efficient ordering of test tasks. An appendix of some 400 common software errors will be of special interest to testers and developers alike.
