4.0 out of 5 stars A very good, thorough and understandable book. 2 Aug 1996
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Software Testing Techniques by Boris Beizer is an absolute
must for anyone who has a serious interest in software
testing. This 549-page book covers nearly every aspect of
the process of finding errors in computer programs, moving
from basic definitions and terminology through detailed and
easy-to-understand explanations of most testing strategies
in use today, finishing with a chapter on implementing
testing strategies in a development organization.

This book is written with the practitioner in mind, but
can equally well be used by students in software engineering
curriculums. It presents both theory and practice in a
thorough and clear manner, illustrating both concepts
and practical techinqes with numerous realistic examples.

All in all, in this reviewers mind, this is a very good
book on software testing, in particular for the active
practicioner, but could definitely be used by students of
software engineering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Software Testing Techniques 28 Mar 2011
By Tiga386
Format:Hardcover
A very quick delivery, of a book in very good condition. This book is a classic still referenced in many recent articles on the subject of software testing. The book appears to have never been read which is a tad worrying considering it was previously owned by the Hughes Aircraft Co.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable for serious testers 9 Jun 2008
By Gareth Greenwood
Format:Hardcover
Beizer was a pioneer in the area of systematic testing techniques and AFAIK the first to publish a substantial work illustrating the various commonly used white-box testing techniques. This book remains deservedly a classic and worth every penny (especially if you can lay your hands on the paperback edition published in India - less than GBP 4.00 when I bought mine).

Beizer gives an exceptionally clear account of the most commonly used structural test coverage measurements with the underlying mathematics set out so that you can understand the essentials. His explanation of graph-theoretic concepts used in test coverage measurement is still, IMO, the best in print and covers most of the techniques cited in the British and European standards for software component testing (sorry Yanks, but Europe is ahead of you here :-).

For the working software engineer, this book will tell you most of what you need to know about the principles of white-box testing. If you want to know about black-box testing, get Beizer's other book of that title.

As you might expect from its vintage, the book has nothing on OO or GUI testing. In this respect Jorgensen's "Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach" covers more ground, though in less depth. Nevertheless, "Software Testing Techniques" should be on every serious tester's bookshelf, if not graven in his or her memory.

I often recommend this book + Jorgensen + Hetzel's book on software test management to clients who need to do rigorously controlled testing of high-integrity systems.
