goal of the book is to help make testing less of an albatross and to provide
a guide to software testing success. If done right, you can:
-
Increase
quality
-
Decrease cost
-
Increase speed to market
You
will understand that:
-
Testing is difficult to manage, expensive, and does not guarantee high quality
software. To get cost advantage and around-the-clock production, you need to outsource/offshore.
-
Managing
offshore resources is difficult, there is little visibility into their work, and
great cost savings have not been seen to date.
-
Development
processes have been streamlined and accelerated. Testing has not kept up.
-
Tools
are expensive and the tool is not the answer.
-
Automation is hard to manage, even harder to maintain.
You
will be able to:
-
Describe
the need for software testing and the shortcomings of the current paradigms.
-
Articulate
the hidden costs and problems of offshoring the testing function.
-
Identify
the models that work and understand if they are worth incorporating into your
company.
-
Understand what
you need to do to have it done "right".

Happy About Global Software
Test Automation
A Discussion of Software Testing for Executives
by Hung
Nguyen, Michael
Hackett, and Brent
K. Whitlock"Software
is complex but I'm tired of finding bug after bug that a 5th grader wouldn't have
turned in. Virtually every technical product these days includes a lot of software.
It's a rare engineer that can write nearly perfect code. Methodical and thorough
testing of software is the key to quality products that do what the user expects.
Read this book to learn what you need to do!"
Steve Wozniak, Wheels
of Zeus, CTO "The is the best software
testing book I have come across on the subject. Most books are simply text book
or just "crack-a-lackin" (crap). Excellent read!"
Clive
Boulton, Exact International Development "In
theory, test automation is supposed to be a silver bullet to increase test coverage
and improve quality; offshoring is supposed to drastically cut costs. In reality,
many organizations struggle with both, and don't see significant gains despite
extensive efforts. This book clearly presents the challenges of test automation
and a practical way for organizations of any size to overcome them to realize
significant time and cost savings in their software testing effort. Every executive
responsible for development and testing of software should become familiar with
these ideas!"
Bruce Martin, Vice President, Product Strategy, PSS
Systems "Offshoring by itself is not
enough.This book provides you testing strategies to stay ahead of the competition
and maximize your investment."
Robert S. Alvin, CEO and Chairman,
Netline Corporation "Despite continued
advances in development techniques and technologies, software quality problems
are as pervasive as ever. Software testing teams are under tremendous pressure
to test more complex systems with the same or fewer resources, and corporate managers
are always looking to shave costs by leveraging offshore testing. This book does
a great job of highlighting the fundamental challenges of software testing today,
and then presents a thoughtful solution for leveraging test automation and offshoring
to meeting your organizations quality goals."
Adam Au, Vice President,
Engineering, Centrify Corporation "Automation
isn't just about technical decisions. Finally, this book is the first that offers
a practical business case for effective test automation."
Michael
Hatam, President, Application Services, Moyo Group "This
is one of the must read books by software executives. It goes over the major concepts
and best practices of software testing in an efficient and effective manner. At
Sun, we already use some of the best practices described in this book and are
planning to adopt the remaining best practices."

Director, J2EE App Server, Sun Micro Systems, Inc. |
