"By incorporating systematic controls throughout the development process, the methods in Client-Server Software Testing on the Desktop and the Web can help any organization save time and money while building in quality for distributed systems."--BOOK JACKET.

A software testing survival guide for those who work in Internet time With Internet applications spreading like wildfire, the field of software testing is increasingly challenged by the brave new networked world of e-business. This book brings you up to speed on the technologies, testing concepts, and tools you'll need to run e-business applications on the Web. Written by Hung Nguyen, a coauthor of the bestselling software testing book of all time, Testing Computer Software, this new guide takes you to the next level, helping you apply your existing skills to the testing of B2B (Business-to-Business), B2C (Business-to-Consumer), and internal Web-based applications. You'll learn how to test transactions across networks, explore complex systems for errors, and work efficiently with the many components at play--from servers to browsers to protocols. Most importantly, you'll get detailed instructions on how to carry out specific test types along with case studies and error examples for each test. Software testers, test leads and test managers, QA analysts and managers, and IT managers and staff will find this an invaluable resource for their testing projects. With an emphasis on achievable goals and necessary rather than nice-to-have features, Testing Applications on the Web provides: An analysis of the Web-application model and the difference between Web testing and traditional testing A tutorial on the methodology and techniques for networking technologies and component-based testing Strategies for test planning, test case designing, and error analysis on the Web Effective real-world practices for UI (User Interface) tests, security tests, installation tests, load and stress tests, database tests, and more A survey of commercial tools and a sampling of proven test matrices and templates

A detailed plan designed specifically to test client/server applications. This book defines the tasks and deliverables in all phases of system testing. The author uses a case study to demonstrate how to specify test cycles, test conditions, and test cases. And, she explains why a central test plan is vital to a project's success.

CD-ROM contains: Samples and demo versions of a variety of development tools and management software programs, including Microsoft Project 98 and FrontPage 2000. Also included are practical templates, forms, questionnaires, outlines, style guides, and other tools that can be easily tailored to meet your specific Web development needs.

* Includes updates to material on testing Web applications. * Contains new coverage of testing for wireless applications. * From the coauthor of the bestselling testing book of all time. * Each test type is backed up with a testing example and error examples.

This pragmatic guide provides a testing framework that can be used by all members of staff involved in software development and testing within an organisation to improve the quality and to reduce timescales, effort, and cost. This book covers all aspects of testing, as well as software developed or modified in-house, the modification or extension of existing legacy software systems, as well as software developed on behalf of an organisation by a third party. This framework can be customised to match the particular testing requirements of any particular organisation, and a series of real-world case studies are provided to illustrate how this can be achieved. The book also provides a comprehensive set of standard testing document templates, proformas, and checklists for the reader to use in their testing projects. These items are provided electronically, which allows the reader to customised them to match the particular requirements of their business.

Gain an in-depth understanding of software testing management and process issues that are critical for delivering high-quality software on time and within budget. Written by leading experts in the field, this book offers those involved in building and maintaining complex, mission-critical software systems a flexible, risk-based process to improve their software testing capabilities. Whether your organization currently has a well-defined testing process or almost no process, Systematic Software Testing provides unique insights into better ways to test your software.This book describes how to use a preventive method of testing, which parallels the software development lifecycle, and explains how to create and subsequently use test plans, test design, and test metrics. Detailed instructions are presented to help you decide what to test, how to prioritize tests, and when testing is complete. Learn how to conduct risk analysis and measure test effectiveness to maximize the efficiency of your testing efforts. Because organizational structure, the right people, and management are keys to better software testing, Systematic Software Testing explains these issues with the insight of the authorsOCO more than 25 years of experience."
