Summary: All about Software Quality Assurance
Review: This book gives an organized and detailed description of software quality assurance and should be helpful to anyone who is approaching the subject for the first time.
Authors did a good job of explaining basic concepts of component-based software testing and various validation methods used in quality assurance for software components. This book gives detailed explanation of validation methods (white-box, black-box & test automation tools), issues and challenges of component-based software testing and also explains about integration, regression and performance testing.
I can honestly say that this is the best book on Software Quality Assurance I have ever seen.

Summary: explains in detail the component based testing concept
Review: This book offers an understanding of component-based software testing. It defines what is component based software. Frankly speaking, until I read this book, I had no idea of component based software development, even though I am a software developer working in JAVA, C++ and C. This book clearly stated the differences between the normal software and component based software. As a student, I had the idea of testing is very easy. This book exposed me to different ways of testing - white-box, black-box, and regression testing and gave a clear picture of testing cycle. The best part of this book is that it clearly talks about the issues and challenges of the current component based testing. It covers the important concepts like testability and how to construct testable components in a systematic manner. Over all, this is a very good book for learning Testing techniques for component based softwares.

Summary: May be the only book on the topic; also applies to web svcs.
Review: This book provides a thorough and detailed discussion of the key differences between testing and QA for 'monolithic' or integrated software, and component-based software engineering. The distinction is important because while the reason to go with a component-based approach is reusability and leveraging developer efforts across a number of applications or products can also introduce widespread problems across a range of systems. This book shows how to approach testing and QA in a manner that eliminates this problem. The approach itself includes validation methods that need to be rigorously applied, and a detailed quality assurance approach that includes testing, certification and verification after the validation layer is completed. In addition to a coherent approach, the authors discuss specific methods, automated testing tools, testing frameworks, and specifics about test cycles that apply to component-based software. Overall, this book provides a complete picture of the differences between conventional and component-based software, challenges and solutions to meet those challenges. While the value of this book will be readily apparent to anyone who is working in a component-based software engineering environment, it is also invaluable to the growing number of project teams and shops developing and implementing web services. There is much commonality shared between component-based software and web services, and the principles and approach given in this book will apply equally to both.

Summary: Great Book But Dont Get an E-Book Format through Amazon
Review: You will not be able to print any parts of the book. Download process requires a Microsoft .NET signUp. Also the electronic copy cannot be used on any other computer then the one you have downloaded it on initially.
