Short description
This book tells you how to meet people's expectations with quality planning, software quality, automation, execution, validation, verification, measurement and analysis, and support. It is divided into four major parts: Part I introduces all the major topics and covers quality planning. Part II is devoted to software testing topics. Part III covers quality assurance alternatives and techniques (incl: inspection and formal verification). Part IV covers other major topics, including measurement and feedback, quality assessment and improvement. The linkage and integration of these diverse topics is an important feature: The author compares testing to other quality assurance alternatives and related techniques.
