Foundations Of Software Testing is reference book for B.E. students of computer science that covers all about software testing. Summary Of The Book An all-inclusive book on software testing, Foundations of Software Testing ensures that the students of B.E. Computer Science get a better grasp of the Fundamentals and Methodologies of software testing. Written by Aditya P Mathur, the book discusses robust engineering approaches for Software Assessment, Minimization, Selection, Enhancement, and Test Generation. Moreover, the author uses a mathematical method to explain a variety of test generation techniques including Combinatorial Designs, Finite-State models, and even the requirements. The book is divided into Three sections: Preliminaries, Test Generation, and Test Adequacy Assessment and Enhancement. The First section covers the basics of Software Testing. The Second one provides in-depth knowledge on Test Generation from requirements; Test Selection, Minimization and Prioritization for Regression testing; Test Generation from Combinatorial Designs; and Test generation from finite-state models. The Last section provides coverage on test-adequacy assessment using Control Flow and Data Flow and using Program Mutation. The Last section of the book offers an exhaustive evaluation of the Testing Tools that are currently available. Step-by-step Algorithms are also included that help in Generating Tests. Designed for students as well as researchers and practitioners, this book is an easy to access and understand practical book that covers all sorts of simple and advanced techniques to improve knowledge in Software Testing. Also, the solved question papers included in the book add to its usability and provide enough practice to the users.
