Testing object-oriented software : life-cycle solutions
"This book presents an integrated framework for testing object-oriented software throughout the software engineering life cycle. It discusses recipes for testing of requirements, designs, base classes, derived classes, and integrated systems. For each phase the authors describe objectives of testing, approaches used, testing techniques, ordered sets of activities, planned efforts, and acceptance criteria for transition to the next phase." "The book will be of interest to software practitioners, managers, researchers, and students. It can also be used as a text for object-oriented software testing or as a supplement to software engineering courses."--Jacket
