Book Outline Software Testing and Analysis: Process, Principles, and Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
Software test and analysis are essential techniques for producing dependable software. While one cannot “test quality into” a badly constructed software product, neither can one build quality into a product without test and analysis. Achieving adequate quality through testing is often a major cost in software development, as well as a major factor in product cycle time. Failing to obtain adequate quality can be an even greater cost. This book addresses software test and analysis in the context of an overall effort to achieve an acceptable level of quality at acceptable cost. It assumes that the reader’s aim is not ultra-high dependability without regard to cost, nor cutting cost without regard to quality, but rather maximizing cost-effectiveness while balancing cost, schedule, and quality. It assumes, moreover, that one is not artificially constrained to isolated improvements only in a well-defined testing group or testing phase, but is instead motivated to integrate testing and analysis activities as effectively as possible across the entire process of software development and evolution. Software testing and software analysis techniques are treatedhere together, which is unusual in the current book-length literature but is consistent with a goal of achieving quality as cost-effectively as possible, using whatever combination of techniques is most appropriate. Moreover, software testing and software analysis depend on much of the same fundamental technical background. One must understand both to choose and combine techniques, and combinations of testing and analysis techniques can often be made to interact synergistically. The traditionally strong distinction between software testing and formal techniques for software analysis is an artifact of historical development of the fields, and is no longer useful.
