Software Testing - A Practical Approach


About AuthorsSANDEEP DESAI  -  is Vice-President (Information Technology), AFCONS Infrastructure Limited, Mumbai. and also a senior Visiting Faculty at SNDT College, Mumbai. 
ABHISHEK SRIVASTAVA -  
is a partner at TECHCANVASS, a software development company. He obtained his BE from NIT, Patna and PGCPM from IIM Kozhikode.
This concise text provides an insight into practical aspects of software testing and discusses all the recent technological developments in this field including quality assurance. The book also illustrates the specific kinds of problems that software developers often encounter during development of software.
The book first builds up the basic concepts inherent in the software development life cycle (SDLC). It then elaborately discusses the metho-dologies of both static testing and dynamic testing of the software, covering the concepts of structured group examinations, control flow and data flow, unit testing, integration testing, system testing and acceptance testing. The book brings out the underlying concepts of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software applications and describes the testing methodologies adopted in them.
The book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of computer science and engineering for a course in software testing.

PHI-Numerical Analysis with Algorithms and Computer Programs in C++



Author    
:
  Ajay Wadhwa
Price         :  195.00        
This concise introduction to Numerical Methodsblends the traditional algebraic approach with the computer-based approach, with special emphasis on evolving algorithms which have been directly transformed into programs in C++. Each numerical method used for solving nonlinear  algebraic equations, simultaneous linear equations, differentiation, integration, ordinary differential equations, curve-fitting, etc. is accompanied by an algorithm and the corresponding computer program.

All computer programs have been test run on Linux ‘Ubuntu C++’ as well as Window-based ‘Dev C++’, Visual C++ and ‘Turbo C++’ compiler systems. Since different types of C++ compilers are in use today, instructions have been given with each computer program to run it on any kind of compiler. To this effect, an introductory chapter on C++ compilers has been added for ready reference by the students and teachers.

Another major feature of the book is the coverage of the practicals prescribed for laboratory work in Numerical Analysis. Each chapter has a large number of laboratory tested programming examples and exercises including questions from previous years’ examinations.

Description:

Machinery's Handbook has been the most popular reference work in metalworking, design, engineering and manufacturing facilities, and in technical schools and colleges throughout the world for nearly 100 years. It is universally acknowledged as an extraordinarily authoritative, comprehensive, and practical tool, providing its users with the most fundamental and essential aspects of sophisticated manufacturing practice. The 29th edition of the "Bible of the Metalworking Industries" contains major revisions of existing content, as well as new material on a variety of topics. It is the essential reference for Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Industrial Engineers, Designers, Draftsmen, Toolmakers, Machinists, Engineering and Technology Students, and the serious Home Hobbyist.
 
Features:
 
#  New to this edition … micromachining, expanded material on calculation of hole coordinates, an
     introduction to metrology, further contributions to the sheet metal and presses section, shaft
     alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, solid geometry, distinguishing
     between bolts and screws, statistics, calculating thread dimensions, keys and keyways, miniature
     screws, metric screw threads, and fluid mechanics.

#  Numerous major sections have been extensively reworked and renovated throughout, including
      Mathematics, Mechanics and Strength of Materials, Properties of Materials, Dimensioning, Gaging
      and Measuring, Machining Operations, Manufacturing Process, Fasteners, Threads and Threading,
      and Machine Elements.

#  The metric content has been greatly expanded. Throughout the book, wherever practical, metric
      units are shown adjacent to the U.S. customary units in the text. Many formulas are now
      presented with equivalent metric expressions, and additional metric examples have been added.
   
#  The detailed tables of contents located at the beginning of each section have been expanded and
      fine-tuned to make finding topics easier and faster.
     
#  The entire text of this edition, including all the tables and equations, has been reset, and a great
      many of the figures have been redrawn. The page count has increased by nearly 100 pages, to
      2,800 pages.

#  Updated Standards.
