Software has infiltrated almost every industry, and software failure in any industry can be very costly. In the case of critical software it can potentially result in serious injury or loss of life. However, regardless of the criticality of the software, there is always a cost associated with errors. These costs call for some kind of software
failure prevention. One way to ensure software reliability is to implement a regular testing program, which is the basis for
Nicole Smith’s new book, Building Blocks for Effective Software Testing. Packed with highly practical information, this book will
provide software testing analysts with the basic knowledge to effectively perform a comprehensive testing regimen. With its
simplified format, the book also enables software test analysts to quickly apply the latest industry leading practices and
lessons to their workplace.
