This book presents a new paradigm of software testing by
emphasizing the role of critical thinking, system thinking and
rationality as the most important skills for the tester. It thus
approaches software testing from a different perspective than in
past literature, as the vast majority of books describe testing in
the context of specific tools, automation, documentation,
particular test design techniques or test management. In addition,
the book proposes a novel meta-approach for designing effective
test strategies, which is based on recent advances in psychology,
economics, system sciences and logic. Chapter 1 starts by
introducing the fundamental ideas underlying software testing.
Chapter 2 then describes meta-strategies in software testing, i.e.
general approaches that can be adapted to many different situations
that a software tester encounters. Next, Chapter 3 presents the
concept of Thinking-Driven Testing (TDT). This approach utilizes
the concepts discussed in the two previous chapters and introduces
the main ideas that underlie a reasonable and optimal approach to
software testing. Chapter 4 builds on this basis and proposes a
specific approach to testing, called TQED, that makes it possible
to increase creativity in the context of delivering effective,
optimal test ideas. Chapter 5 provides an overview of different
types of testing techniques in order to understand the fundamental
concepts of test design, while Chapter 6 details various pitfalls a
tester may encounter and that can originate from a wide range of
testing process areas. Lastly, Chapter 7 puts all this into
practice, as it contains several exercises that will help testers
develop a number of crucial skills: logical thinking and reasoning,
thinking out of the box, creativity, counting and estimating, and
analytical thinking. By promoting critical, rational and creative
thinking, this book invites readers to re-examine common
assumptions regarding software testing and shows them how to become
professional testers who bring added value to their company.
