This updated and reorganized Fifth edition of Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach continues to be a valuable reference for software testers, developers, and engineers, by applying the strong mathematics content of previous editions to a coherent treatment of software testing. Responding to instructor and student survey input, 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.

This book provides engineers, developers, and technicians with a detailed treatment of various models of software behavior that will support early analysis, comprehension, and model-based testing. The expressive capabilities and limitations of each behavioral model are also discussed.
In his latest work, author Paul C Jorgensen takes his well-honed craftsman's approach to mastering model-based testing (MBT). To be expert at MBT, a software tester has to understand it as a craft rather than an art. This means a tester should have deep knowledge of the underlying subject and be well practiced in carrying out modeling and testing techniques. Judgment is needed, as well as an understanding of MBT the tools. The first part of the book helps testers in developing that judgment. It starts with an overview of MBT and follows with an in-depth treatment of nine different testing models with a chapter dedicated to each model. These chapters are tied together by a pair of examples: a simple insurance premium calculation and an event-driven system that describes a garage door controller. The book shows how simpler models-flowcharts, decision tables, and UML Activity charts-express the important aspects of the insurance premium problem. It also shows how transition-based models-finite state machines, Petri nets, and statecharts-are necessary for the garage door controller but are overkill for the insurance premium problem. Each chapter describes the extent to which a model can support MBT. The second part of the book gives testers a greater understanding of MBT tools. It examines six commercial MBT products, presents the salient features of each product, and demonstrates using the product on the insurance premium and the garage door controller problems. These chapters each conclude with advice on implementing MBT in an organization. The last chapter describes six Open Source tools to round out a tester's knowledge of MBT. In addition, the book supports the International Software Testing Qualifications Board's (ISTQB (R)) MBT syllabus for certification.

Based on a graduate course taught by the author, this book provides an in-depth understanding of the expressive power of various models of system behavior. The text details two fundamental types of requirements specification models: those that describe structure and those that describe behavior. Chapters emphasizing structure focus on entity/relation models, dataflow diagrams, hierarchy charts, class diagrams, and object diagrams as well as the interfaces among them. Sections highlighting behavior address decision tables, finite state machines, StateCharts, and Petri Nets. The capabilities and limitations of each model are also discussed. Practical examples and exercises complete the coverage.
