Professional testing of software is an essential task that requires a
profound knowledge of testing techniques. The International Software
Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) has developed a universally
accepted, international qualification scheme aimed at software and
system testing professionals, and has created the Syllabi and Tests for
the "Certified Tester." Today, hundreds of thousands of people have
taken the ISTQB certification exams.
The authors of Software Testing Foundations, 5th Edition, are among
the creators of the Certified Tester Syllabus and are currently active
in the ISTQB. This thoroughly revised and updated fifth edition covers
the "Foundations Level" (entry level) and teaches the most important
methods of software testing. It is designed for self-study and provides
the information necessary to pass the Certified Tester-Foundations Level
exam, as defined by the ISTQB. Also in this new edition, technical terms
have been precisely stated according to the ISTQB glossary.
