Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach, Fifth Edition

This updated and reorganized Fifth edition of Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach applies the strong mathematics content of previous editions to a coherent treatment of software testing. Responding to instructor and student survey input of previous editions, the authors have streamlined chapters and examples.

The Fifth Edition:

• Has a new chapter on feature interaction testing that explores the feature interaction problem and explains how to reduce tests
• Uses Java instead of pseudo-code for all examples including structured and object-oriented ones
• Presents model-based development and provides an explanation of how to conduct testing within model-based development environments
• Explains testing in waterfall, iterative, and agile software development projects
• Explores test-driven development, reexamines all-pairs testing, and explains the four contexts of software testing

Thoroughly revised and updated, Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach, Fifth Edition is sure to become a standard reference for those who need to stay up to date with evolving technologies in software testing. Carrying on the tradition of previous editions, it is a valuable reference for software testers, developers, and engineers.

這本經過更新和重新組織的第五版《軟體測試：工匠的方法》將先前版本的強大數學內容應用於一個有條理的軟體測試處理。根據先前版本的教師和學生調查結果，作者簡化了章節和例子。

第五版包括以下內容：
- 新增了一章關於特性交互測試，探討特性交互問題並解釋如何減少測試。
- 所有例子都使用Java而不是偽代碼，包括結構化和面向對象的例子。
- 提供了基於模型的開發並解釋如何在基於模型的開發環境中進行測試。
- 解釋了瀑布、迭代和敏捷軟體開發項目中的測試。
- 探討了測試驅動開發，重新檢視了全對測試，並解釋了軟體測試的四個上下文。

經過全面修訂和更新，《軟體測試：工匠的方法，第五版》必將成為那些需要與軟體測試不斷演進的技術保持最新的標準參考資料。延續先前版本的傳統，它是軟體測試人員、開發人員和工程師的寶貴參考資料。

Paul C. Jorgensen, Ph.D., spent 20 years of his first career developing, supporting, and testing telephone switching systems. Since 1986, he has been teaching graduate courses in software engineering, first at Arizona State University, and then at Grand Valley State University. As of August 2017, he became a Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Grand Valley State University. He claims he is not retired, he just has a 7-day weekend, every week. Paul is a co-author of two McGraw-Hill books (1970 and 1992). In addition to his software testing book, he is the author of two other CRC Press books: Modeling Software Behavior-A Craftsman's Approach and The Craft of Model-Based Testing. He has reactivated his consulting practice, Software Paradigms, working with companies in Europe and North America.
Byron DeVries, Ph.D., currently teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in software engineering at Grand Valley State University. Previously, he directed the testing of flight-worthy avionics software during his 12-year career in the aviation systems industry. His research interests are the in the modeling and verification of high-assurance adaptive cyber-physical systems.

Paul C. Jorgensen博士在他的第一個職業生涯中花了20年的時間開發、支援和測試電話交換系統。自1986年以來，他一直在亞利桑那州立大學和Grand Valley State University教授研究生課程。從2017年8月起，他成為Grand Valley State University的計算機科學名譽教授。他聲稱自己並沒有退休，只是每週有7天的週末。Paul是兩本麥格羅希爾（McGraw-Hill）的合著者（1970年和1992年）。除了他的軟體測試書籍外，他還是CRC Press的另外兩本書籍的作者：《模型化軟體行為-工匠的方法》和《基於模型的測試的技藝》。他重新啟動了他的諮詢業務Software Paradigms，與歐洲和北美的公司合作。

Byron DeVries博士目前在Grand Valley State University教授研究生和本科課程的軟體工程。在航空系統行業的12年職業生涯中，他曾負責測試適於飛行的航空電子系統軟體。他的研究興趣在於高保證自適應物理系統的建模和驗證。
