"A Tester's Guide to .NET Programming" focuses solely on applied programming techniques for testers. You will learn how to write simple automated tests, enabling you to test tools and utilities. You will also learn about the important concepts driving modern programming today, like multitier applications and object-oriented programming. More businesses are adopting .NET technologies, and this book will equip you to assess software robustness and performance.

Whether you're an experienced programmer whos unfamiliar with testing concepts, or you're an experienced tester unversed in VB .NET and C#, the included real-world tips and example code will help you start your projects.

The goal of "Visual Basic for Testers" is to teach you how to use Visual Basic to increase your level of sophistication as a tester. You'll learn how to use VB to write an automated testing project and what to look for in a well-written VB program. Author Mary Sweeney will help you gain the experience necessary both to use VB to support an automated text project and to text a commercial application written in VB.

Since testers often want to move to development tracks, Sweeney also presents information on programming and the issues involved in maintenance and debugging. What you'll learn Who this book is for

"Visual Basic for Testers" is easy to read and understand, and is not intended to be a high-level technical reference. Rather, it is a practical guide with many examples provided by real testers with real-world experience in writing VB test code. It is useful for those considering a career in testing and wondering just what the difference is between writing code for testing and writing code for software development.
