Book description

Testing IT provides a complete, off-the-shelf software testing process framework for any testing practitioner who is looking to research, implement, roll out, adopt, and maintain a software testing process. It covers all aspects of testing for software developed or modified in-house, modified or extended legacy systems, and software developed by a third party. Software professionals can customize the framework to match the testing requirements of any organization, and six real-world testing case studies are provided to show how other organizations have done this. Packed with a series of real-world case studies, the book also provides a comprehensive set of downloadable testing document templates, proformas, and checklists to support the process of customizing. This new edition demonstrates the role and use of agile testing best practices and includes a specific agile case study.

Reviews

‘With the publication of the second edition of Testing IT, John Watkins and Simon Mills built on the success of the first edition, revising and bringing it up to date to ensure it continues to be relevant for the next ten years and beyond … [This] book goes a long way to helping practitioners involved in test process, test management and testing …’

Geoff Thompson - from the Foreword of Software Testing, Verification and Reliability

Praise for the first edition:‘When asked for my opinion about software testing I referred naturally to Testing IT. Imagine a light being switched on! Almost overnight everyone in the organisation was walking around with versions of the V-lifecycle … has made a difference to two organisations that were lost in a testing strategy wilderness.’

Martin Allen - Software Team Leader

Praise for the first edition:‘An off-the-shelf set of procedures, complete with forms and checklists, for much less than the price of a day’s work, must be a bargain … The forms are a joy to anyone in quality assurance …’

Brian Peaker Source: Computer Bulletin

Praise for the first edition:‘The third part consists of an extensive set of test checklists, templates and proformas, ready to use or to tailor to your specific requirements. To have these all in one place and already standardised is alone worth the price of the book … covers all aspects of testing for both in-house and third-party developed software. I heartily recommend that any test professional looking for an easier life gets a copy of this book. I believe that even the most hardened of us would gain from reading it.’

Praise for the first edition:‘This is the most useful book on testing since Myers' The Art of Software Testing in the late 1970s. Besides having all of the material of Myers, Watkins has enlarged the scope of testing to include object-oriented code.’
