We have written this book to introduce students and software professionals to the
fundamental ideas in testing theory, testing techniques, testing practices, and quality
assurance. Undergraduate students in software engineering, computer science, and
computer engineering with no prior experience in the software industry will be
introduced to the subject matter in a step-by-step manner. Practitioners too will
benefit from the structured presentation and comprehensive nature of the materials.
Graduate students can use the book as a reference resource. After reading the whole
book, the reader will have a thorough understanding of the following topics:
• Fundamentals of testing theory and concepts
• Practices that support the production of quality software
• Software testing techniques
• Life-cycle models of requirements, defects, test cases, and test results
• Process models for unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing
• Building test teams, including recruiting and retaining test engineers
• Quality models, capability maturity model, testing maturity model, and test
process improvement model

This book is written for:
• Testers who want to become test managers and need to get a new perspective on all the things
they already know.
• Test managers who want answers to some very pressing questions all in one place.
• Project managers who want to know what they should expect from their test team, what they can
do with it, and what it will mean.
• Quality assurance staff who want to know what to look for in a testing environment and how to
measure it when they find it.
• Lecturers who realize that test management is another critical role which can mean the difference
between success and failure on a project, and which might form the basis of a new course.
• Investment analysts who want to know what might go wrong with their investments, why, and
how to stop it.
• Project office staff who want to know how to integrate the information they get from the test team.
• Auditors fed up with being pilloried by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and
worried that something about Sarbanes–Oxley might have escaped them.

   Much has been written about the difficulty of software testing. Often these laments are accompanied by cautionary words about how careful one has to be to ensure testing is done properly. However, there is a dearth of resources that give practical guidance on the nuts and bolts of testing. Essential Software Testing: A Use-Case Approach describes testing methods and techniques in a common sense manner that is easy to understand, helping readers to quickly and effectively implement project-specific testing solutions.
Divided into three parts, the book first discusses ways to make testing agile, providing insight into how testing can be done efficiently in different process environments. Next, the book supplies an overview of testing concepts. Lastly, it demonstrates how to perform the actual test, detailing specific testing activities that can be used on almost any project, with specific attention given to use-case driven testing. It describes how to test using Use Cases regardless of the specific requirements of the project.
The author weaves helpful war stories throughout the text, placing the concepts in a concrete framework. This guide gives software testers a firm grasp of all testing fundamentals: how to determine what to test and how to test it, how to select proper tests to match the plan, techniques to build and trace tests, and finally, how to conduct and record tests.

“What is software testing? To us, testing is the evaluation of the work products created during a software development effort. This is more general than just checking part or all of a software system to see if it meets its specifications. Testing software is a difficult process, in general, and sufficient resources are seldom available for testing. From our standpoint, testing is done throughout a development effort and is not just an activity tacked on at the end of a development phase to see how well the developers did. We see testing as part of the process that puts quality into a software system. As a result, we address the testing of all development products (models) even before any code is written.”

   In today’s unforgiving business environment where customers demand zero defect software at lower costs—it is testing that provides the opportunity for software companies to separate themselves from the competition. Providing a fresh perspective on this increasingly important function, Software Testing as a Service explains, in simple language, how to use software testing to improve productivity, reduce time to market, and reduce costly errors.
The book explains how the normal functions of manufacturing can be applied to commoditize the software testing service to achieve consistent quality across all software projects. This up-to-date reference reviews different software testing tools, techniques, and practices and provides succinct guidance on how to estimate costs, allocate resources, and make competitive bids.
Replete with examples and case histories, this book shows software development managers, software testers, testing managers, and entrepreneurs how proper planning can lead to the creation of software that proves itself to be head and shoulders above the competition.

This book is for anyone who is interested in the role of test at Microsoft or for those who want to know
more about how Microsoft approaches testing. This book isn’t a replacement for any of the numerous
other great texts on software testing. Instead, it describes how Microsoft applies a number of testing
techniques and methods of evaluation to improve our software.
Microsoft testers themselves will likely find the book to be interesting as it includes techniques and
approaches used across the company. Even nontesters may find it interesting to know about the role of
test at Microsoft.
