SynopsisThis textbook sets out to provide professionals with an in-depth understanding of the software-testing people and process issues that are critical for delivering high-quality software on time and within budget.

Whether an organization currently has a well-defined testing process or almost no process, this resource provides insights into better ways to test software.
