Software Testing in the Real World provides the reader with a tool-box for effectively improving the software testing process. The book contains many testing techniques and guidance for creating a strategy for continuous, sustainable improvement within the organization - whatever its size or level of process maturity.
Ed Kit addresses the most frequently asked questions about methodologies, tools, technology, and organizational issues being posed in the testing community today. Pragmatic in its approach, the book confronts the problem of the relative immaturity of the software engineering discipline in most organizations with practical guidance on cost and risk, standards, planning, testing tasks, and testing tools.
