The book offers a practical understanding of all the most critical software testing topics and their relationships and inter-dependencies.

The hardware and software of computing have changed markedly in the three decades since the first edition of The Art of Software Testing, but this book's powerful underlying analysis has stood the test of time. Whereas most books on software testing target particular development techniques, languages, or testing methods,

The ISTQB Certified Tester exam was developed toward an international standard which includes 47 international testing boards. Today more than 130,000 people have taken the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) Foundations Level exam. So, where can all these people go to learn what they need to know in order to pass the exam? Now they can go to Software Testing Foundations, 3rd Edition, from Rocky Nook's Computing division.

The Handbook of Research on Assessment Literacy and Teacher-Made Testing in the Language Classroom is an essential reference source that discusses effective language assessment and educator roles in evaluation design. Featuring research on topics such as course learning outcomes, learning analytics, and teacher collaboration, this book is ideally designed for educators, administrative officials, linguists, academicians, researchers, and education students seeking coverage on an educators role in evaluation design and analyses of evaluation methods and outcomes.

This volume addresses the broad theme and specific topics associated with current thinking in the field of language testing and assessment.

A superior primer on software testing and quality assurance, from integration to execution and automation

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 implement a test strategy. You will be able to analyze, design, implement, and execute tests using risk considerations to determine the appropriate effort and priority for tests.

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.

This is one of ten volumes of the Encyclopedia  of  Language  and  Education published by Springer. The Encyclopedia–now in this, its third edition–isundoubtedly the benchmark reference text in itsfield. It was first published in1997 under the general editorship of the late David Corson and comprised eight volumes, each focused on a single, substantive topic in language and education.These included: language policy and political issues in education; literacy; oral discourse and education; second language education; bilingual education; knowl-edge about language; language testing and assessment; and research methods in language and education.
