Reliable test design is important in software testing; without it, defects in software may remain undetected, making the software poor quality and causing dissatisfaction among users. This book presents the key test design techniques, in line with ISTQB, and explains when and how to use them, including in combination, with practical, real-life examples. Automated test design methods are also discussed. Tips and exercises are included throughout the book, allowing you to test your knowledge as you progress.Dimensions: 244x170mm
