Software Testing Strategies
By :
In this chapter, we explained how complete testing is impossible, then showed a handful of ways to come up with a few powerful tests. We discussed a few ways of looking at testing but haven’t looked at user interfaces in depth. Once you find your domain, you’ll want to dive deep into it. There is a great deal more to testing than we could cover in this chapter, which just gives a feel for the depth of the work, plus some approaches worth considering.
While we touched on the idea of user interfaces, it is Michael Hunter and his 32-page treatise testing Windows applications, You Are Not Done Yet, that hits on how to test Windows applications. As he was at Microsoft working on systems that would be used by hundreds of millions of people with a higher cost to ship updates, we found reproducing his work here beyond our scope.
In the next chapter, we will discuss how to use tools to help us.
