As software development organizations face growing demands for quality and speed, more of them are turning to automated software testing. In this book, three of the field's leading experts explain automated software testing in detail, and present start-to-finish best practices for implementing it successfully. This exceptionally practical book draws on the authors' unsurpassed experience working with large development organizations in both the defense and private sectors. It also offers up-to-the-minute guidance on utilizing automated software testing in mission-critical and real-time environments, as well as never-before-published techniques for automating the testing of security, performance, and open source software systems. The authors thoroughly demystify automated software testing: its elements, capabilities, limitations, and business case. They assess today's key automation tools and techniques; show how to avoid pitfalls; and walk through the entire implementation process, focusing on five key success factors. From establishing requirements to defining test cases, choosing tools to building skillsets, this book offers today's most complete blueprint for success with automated software testing.
