Since the last publication of this international bestseller, software testing has seen a renaissance of renewed interest and technology. The biggest change comes in the growing prominence and acceptance of Agile Programming. Software Testing: A craftsman's Approach, third edition extends the combination of theory and practicality of the first two editions to include agile programming development and discusses the serious effect this emerging area is having on software testing. The third edition of the widely adopted text and reference book is compromised of six parts. It begins by providing the mathematical background in discrete mathematics and linear graph theory that is used in subsequent sections. The book continues to describe specification-based (functional) and code-based (structural) test development techniques, while extending. The author further develops this discussion to include object-oriented software. A completely new section relates al of the previously discussed concepts to the Agile software development movement and highlights issues such as how Agile and XP development environments are radically changing the role of software testers by making testing integral at every phase of the development process.
