Directed primarily toward students taking an course in undergraduate systems analysis and design, this text also provides practical content to current and aspiring industry professionals.

Software testing is needed to assess the quality of developed software. However, it consumes a critical amount of time and resources, often delaying the software release date and increasing the overall cost. The answer to this problem is effective test automation, which is expected to meet the need for effective software testing while reducing amount of required time and resources.

The second edition of Signals and Systems: Analysis Using Transform Methods and MATLAB®has been extensively updated while retaining the emphasis on fundamental applications and theory that has been the hallmark of this popular text.

The book Systems analysis and design methods continues to react to changes and expected changes in the information technology domain including Year 2000 (Y2K) compatibility, client/server computing, the Internet, intranets, and extranets. Finally, there are exciting systems analysis and design challenges with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) applications (such as SAP), systems integration, and business process redesign.

This book is written for the technical test analyst who wants to achieve advanced skills in test analysis, design, and execution. With a hands-on, exercise-rich approach, this book teaches you how to define and carry out the tasks required to put a test strategy into action.
