This book helps you test better, faster, and more systematically, and—most importantly—find more bugs in less time. Learn how to successfully navigate the path from requirements to quality assurance, supported by the processes and procedures of IEEE standards and the V-Model XT. Discover the possibilities of tool usage in system testing. New in the 3rd edition are the topics of model-based test specification and test automation. In the context of system testing, testers must ensure that bugs in software are found before it is delivered to users or customers. They test not only the software but also the implemented business processes and the system as a whole. System testing is a very complex endeavor that requires its own methods and tools. With this book, you will receive a practical guide to planning, organizing, and conducting system tests, whether you have purchased the systems, adopted them from open-source libraries, migrated them from legacy systems, or developed them anew. The authors demonstrate how to efficiently set up a test project, which methods and approaches are practical, and how to integrate and automate the testing process. Additionally, you will gain an overview of useful tools for system testing. The 3rd edition addresses current developments in system testing with two new chapters: model-based test specification and test automation.
