Product Description

Product Description
An important new object–oriented testing approach that gives you greater reusability, improved software quality, and reduced development costs

Integration testing, black box testing, regression testing, requirements testing . . . all of these can be highly effective approaches when applied to conventional top–down or structured software development. But object–oriented developers are discovering that the procedural approach to testing is not sufficient when applied to the kind of software they develop. As author Shel Siegel clearly demonstrates in this groundbreaking book, object–oriented software development requires a radically different testing approach, one that incorporates a new set of strategies, testing procedures customized for objects and components, and an integrated, specialized object–oriented testing infrastructure. Now, in Object Oriented Software Testing, he specifies the OO testing system, its objects, environment, tools, and procedures, and shows you how to use them to optimize your object–oriented development efforts.

The hierarchical approach described in this book is the first testing scheme designed specifically to address the unique goals and concerns inherent to object–oriented development projects. In case after case it yields nothing less than remarkable results–greater reusability, higher software quality, and consistently lower development costs than those incurred during structured applications development.

The first book to explore one of the most important developments in software engineering in recent years, Object Oriented Software Testing is an important addition to your software development library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Its does not tell you how to test OO software., 30 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book thinking that it would help to test OO software. Sadly disappointed to find that it its not about software but is about creating an object orientated testing approach. The book does propose some interesting ideas about software testing but the client would never allow you to implement them because of the time taken to train testers in the methodology. Its worth reading if you are looking for ideas but it does not tell you about testing OO softare.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but confusing, 11 Jun 1997
By A Customer
This book definitely has some good ideas about software testing. However, I found his use of object technology to describe the testing processing and artifacts produced by that process to be confusing. Objectitus maybe? I might be better to read his references instead, e.g. Bezier. I am curious to talk with others about this.
