Reader reviews for Testing Computer Software

From the publisher

Dies ist die 2. Auflage eines herausragenden und u erst erfolgreichen Softwaretitels, der auch von Amazon besonders empfohlen wird. Frher herausgegeben von VNR Computer Library, ist dieses Buch jetzt bei Wiley erhltlich. Zuverlssige Computer-Software ist der Schlssel zum Erfolg aller IT-Unternehmen und -systeme. Jedoch ist es unmglich erfolgreiche und zuverlssige Software herzustellen, ohne da diese ein umfangreiches Testverfahren durchluft. Und genau um diese Testverfahren geht es hier. Cem Kaner, anerkannter Experte auf diesem Gebiet, hat mit diesem Buch einen Leitfaden verfa t, der von unschtzbarem Wert ist fr ALLE: Fr Studenten, die sich um eine Stelle als Software-Tester bewerben, fr erfahrene Programmierer, die Fehler schnell aufdecken mssen oder mit einer Armada von Testern kommunizieren mssen und fr Projekt- und Test-Manager, die eine Vielzahl von Leuten, Fristen und Erwartungen jedes einzelnen Softwareprojekts unter einen Hut kriegen mssen. Au erdem ist dieses Buch eine gro e Hilfe fr alle, die ein Betriebssystem fr den Privatgebrauch erworben haben, das nicht ihren Erwartungen entspricht. Der Erfolg dieses Buches beruht auf seiner Realittsnhe und Praxisbezogenheit: Qualitt und Zuverlssigkeit von Software am modernen Arbeitsplatz. (y08/99)
