Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The original printing of Testing Computer Software set the standard for the emerging field of test engineering with a full tour of the state of the art in managing the testing process. The reissued text makes this classic out-of-print text available once again. Though it relies heavily on older examples (including MS-DOS) and has not been updated, this text is still a worthwhile resource for practical-minded advice on the realities of testing.

The best thing about Testing Computer Software is its practical point-by-point guide to everyday software testing, from creating a test plan, to writing effective bug reports, to working with programming staff and management to fix bugs.

That said, this book's early frame of reference shows how far we've come. (The book relies heavily on MS-DOS examples and features some truly embarrassing anachronisms, including the mention of testing dot-matrix printers and even EGA/VGA video modes.) The bibliography stops at sources from 1992 and features many references from the 1980s. Nowadays, automated software testing tools are the staple of any testing strategy. This book even advocates a wait-and-see approach to the "new" Microsoft Test.

These limitations aside, there is still a good deal to mine here. Much of the approach to testing is still very valid for any aspiring or working test engineer. Clearly, readers of the first edition will have little reason to upgrade to this second edition, but for anyone who appreciates a "classic" (and indeed a pioneering) text in the field of software testing, it's good to have Testing Computer Software in print again. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered: test case design, test planning, project lifecycle overview, software errors, boundary conditions, bug reports, regression testing, black box testing, software quality and reliability, managing test teams, printer testing, internationalization, and managing legal risk.

Review

"I enjoyed reading Testing computer software. The text contains numerous highlights Offering practical advice, authoritative figures you can cite to customers and higher management, and entertaining anecdotes to share with coworkers Although some sections need updating, I still think it is a valuable training and reference source for software testers, managers, and developers." --Diomidis Spinellis; IEEE software magazine (May /June 2001))
"Deep insight and a great deal of experience is contained in this book" (Database & Network Journal, Vol 30/5 2000)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Cem Kaner is Professor of Software Engineering and Director of the Center for Software Testing Education & Research at the Florida Institute of Technology, which was recently (2012) rated as a Tier 1 Best National University by U.S. News & World Report, as one of America's Top Colleges by Forbes, and as the Best College for Return on Investment in Florida by Bloomberg Businessweek. He holds doctorates in law and in experimental psychology.
Kaner is the lead author of Testing Computer Software, Lessons Learned in Software Testing, Bad Software, and second author of the BBST Instructor's Manual. Kaner is also the primary creator of the widely praised collection of BBST online testing courses including Foundations of Software Testing, Bug Advocacy, and Test Design. He is one of the founders of the Association for Software Testing and, for many years, served as Vice-President of Education. He founded AST’s Education Special Interest Group and served as Chair for several years. Under his leadership, AST sponsored BBST classes that reached hundreds of testers around the world and trained dozens of instructors to teach using BBST materials.
Kaner co-created the Los Altos Workshops on Software Testing with Brian Lawrence & Drew Pritsker. Kaner now hosts the LAWST-style Workshops on Teaching Software Testing (now in their 12th year). The LAWST format has been widely adopted in the United States (e.g. AWTA, IWST, WReST, and WOPR), Canada (TWST, WWST, and POST), Europe (DEWT, GATE, and SWET), New Zealand (KWST) and Australia (OZWST).
Kaner has also played a role in the software testing community as an attorney, focused on the law of software quality. He helped draft legislation and judicial guidelines. His work helped shape (and is repeatedly quoted in) the American Law Institute's Principles of the Law of Software Contracts.
Cem has been honored for his legal work by the American Law Institute, which elected him as a member, and by the Association for Computing Machinery with its "Making a Difference Award" which is "presented to an individual who is widely recognized for work related to the interaction of computers and society. The recipient is a leader in promoting awareness of ethical and social issues in computing."
