Integrated Test Design+automation

Software Development/Testing Integrated Test Design and Automation Using the TestFrame Method Hans Buwalda Dennis Janssen Iris Pinkster Zero-defect software is the holy grail of all development projects, and sophisticated techniques have now emerged to automate the testing process so that high-quality software can be delivered on time and on budget. This practical guide enables readers to understand and apply the TestFrame method - an open method developed by the authors and their colleagues which is rapidly becoming a standard in the testing industry. With the aid of this book, readers will learn how to - customize the TestFrame method for their organizations- develop reusable testing standards- make optimum use of automated testing tools- reuse and maintain test products IT managers will learn how to improve the control the test process and assess results, and expert testers will learn effective ways of automating test execution in a structured way.

Many, many people are having major problems with automation - this book provides a method for avoiding and solving these problems." ~ Ed Kit "Hans Buwalda is very famous for his TestFrame methodology, especially the part about Testing with Action Words. The methodology has become one of the milestones in practical software testing. A book on the methodology is therefore very welcome." ~ Otto Vinter Visit us on the web at www.it-minds.com www.aw.com/cseng www.testframe.comBuwalda, Hans is the author of 'Integrated Test Design+automation' with ISBN 9780201737257 and ISBN 0201737256.
