Software Performance Testing Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners




Author: Ramya Ramalinga Moorthy.

The main objective of compiling this material is to help beginners to quickly march forward into Performance Testing and also to enrich the knowledge for intermediate level performance testers. This is a performance test tool agnostic material, though few test tools are cited for understanding at few places within this material. The audiences are requested to note that all the information provided in this material is more related to web application performance testing.

Introduction to software testing by Paul Ammann

Author: Paul Ammann & Jeff Offutt.

Extensively class tested, this text takes an innovative approach to explaining the process of software testing: it defines testing as the process of applying a few well-defined, general-purpose test criteria to a structure or model of the software. The structure of the text directly reflects the pedagogical approach and incorporates the latest innovations in testing, including techniques to test modern types of software such as Object Oriented, Web applications, and Embedded software.

Use the Guide to the CSTE Common Body of Knowledge as a tool to assist in reviewing the knowledge and skills necessary to apply for the Certified Software Tester designation. The exam assumes that you already have a broad knowledge of information technology and work experience in quality management. The materials selected for the prep guide are topics that QAI believes would be helpful in studying for the designation. A CSTE is expected to not only possess the skills required to pass the examination, but also to be a change agent within their organization and have the ability to act in an advisory position to upper management. In this role they will be expected to ensure that best practices in software testing are identified, implemented, and continually improved within the organization.
