Software Testing and Quality Assurance or Financial Management

Software Testing and Quality Assurance: Theory and Practice

Author: Piyu Tripathy

Currently, most textbooks focus on the topics of software testing and quality assurance separately. Now, Software Testing and Quality Assurance offers instructors and students in software engineering a single source for the subject. A range of topics is covered, including SQA processes and metrics, program testing, code review, system testing, test execution, and quality metrics and reliability models. It is a valuable text, as well as an excellent professional reference for practitioners of software testing.
