Domain testing is the most widely taught
technique in software testing. However, many of the
presentations stick with examples that are too simple to
provide a strong basis for applying the technique.
Others focus on mathematical models or analysis of the
program’s source code.
The Domain Testing
Workbook will help you develop deep skill with
this technique whether or not you have access to source
code or an abiding interest in
mathematics.
The Domain Testing
Workbook provides a schema to organize domain
testing and test design, with dozens of practical
problems and sample analyses. Readers can try their hand
at applying the schema and compare their analyses
against over 200 pages of worked examples.
You will
learn:
- when and how to use domain testing;
- how to apply a risk-focused approach with domain
testing;
- how to use domain testing within a broader testing
strategy; and
- how to use domain testing in an exploratory way.
This book is for:
- Software testers who want to develop expertise in
the field’s most popular test technique
- Test managers who want to assess and improve their
staff’s skills
- Trainers and professors interested in adding depth
and skill-based learning to black box testing or test
design classes.
