From the Inside Flap
When this book was first published in 1979, software testing was far from an exact science. Considered the "dark art" of software development, it was a little–understood process without a set of standard principles.Twenty–five years later, testing hasn’t really changed–but The Art of Software Testing has.
In addition to all the major software testing topics–such as higher–order testing, white– and black–box testing, debugging, code inspections, and walkthroughs–this fully updated Second Edition features up–to–date information on testing twenty–first–century software projects, including vital Internet–based e–commerce applications, as well as details on Extreme Testing, which supports the widely used Extreme Programming development methodology.
Just like the first edition, this revision fills the gaps in the professional literature and provides a practical, rather than theoretical, discussion of the purpose, nature, and principles of proper testing. While the book focuses on methodologies for the design of effective test cases, it also covers the psychological and economic issues that are essential to a full understanding of program testing.
Many programming students enter the workforce without the proper understanding of software testing. This book covers all the essential topics for those students, but also provides all the detail and precision that working programmers might need during the testing phase. Appropriate for programmers and students at any level, The Art of Software Testing, Second Edition presents all the latest new ideas and techniques–many illustrated with helpful examples. Comprehensive and always practical, this essential guide includes code–inspection checklists, a self–assessment test, and other resources programmers need for effective testing–and fewer bugs.

At the time this book was first published, in 1979, it was a well-known rule of thumb that in a typical programming project approximately 50 percent of the elapsed time and more than 50 percent of the total cost were expended in testing the program or system being developed. Read the first page
