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. The art of software testing is a critical phase in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), and this book provides analysts with the requisite knowledge to: Understand software testing terminology - Understand basic test processes and how they relate to the overall software development lifecycle - Know the contents of test documentation - Understand defect and issue tracking management - Understand the various testing types and when to apply them - and Present a number of useful definitions of software testing.

Managing Trade-Offs in Adaptable Software Architectures
<p><i>Managing Trade-Offs in Adaptable Software Architectures </i>explores the latest research on adapting large complex systems to changing requirements. To be able to adapt a system, engineers must evaluate different quality attributes, including trade-offs to balance functional and quality requirements to maintain a well-functioning system throughout the lifetime of the system.</p> <p>This comprehensive resource brings together research focusing on how to manage trade-offs and architect adaptive systems in different business contexts. It presents state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies, tools, best practices, and guidelines for developing adaptive systems, and offers guidance for future software engineering research and practice. </p> <p>Each contributed chapter considers the practical application of the topic through case studies, experiments, empirical validation, or systematic comparisons with other approaches already in practice. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, how to architect a system for adaptability, software architecture for self-adaptive systems, understanding and balancing the trade-offs involved, architectural patterns for self-adaptive systems, how quality attributes are exhibited by the architecture of the system, how to connect the quality of a software architecture to system architecture or other system considerations, and more.</p>
