A software testing survival guide for those who work in Internet time is hot off the press!

FOSTER CITY, CA – October 20, 2000 – With Internet applications spreading like wildfire, the field of software testing is increasingly challenged by the brave new networked world of e-business. Testing Applications on the Web, the newly published book from John Wiley & Sons,
brings you up to speed on the technologies, testing concepts, and tools youll need to run e-business applications on the Web. Written by Hung Q. Nguyen, a co-author of the bestselling software testing book of all time, Testing Computer Software, this new guide takes you to the next level, helping you apply your existing skills to the testing of B2B (Business-to-Business), B2C (Business-to-Consumer), and internal Web-based applications.

Steve Schuster, Director of the Quality Engineering Carrier Applications Group at Phone.Com, Inc., describes the importance of this book. " ‘Testing Applications on the Web by Hung Q. Nguyen is an absolute must for anyone who has a serious interest in testing, especially testing web applications. This book covers nearly every aspect of the error-finding process, moving from basic definitions and terminology, through detailed and easy-to-understand explanations of most testing strategies in use today. It finishes with a chapter on Web testing tools and appendices with test documentation templates. This book is written with the practitioner in mind, but can equally well be used by students in software engineering curriculums."

The author, Hung Q. Nguyen stresses that this is a practitioners guide, and in writing it, he relied on his and LogiGears (the Silicon Valley company Hung began in 1994) real-world testing experience. Testing on the Web is a puzzle for many testers whose focus has been testing traditional and standalone applications. The goal of this book is to introduce the essential Web technologies, the new challenges associated with testing browser-based applications, and testing concepts and strategies for meeting those challenges, in a way that is practical and accessible to the software testing/QA professionals, as well as to the project and IT managers."

Priced at $39.99 USA/$62.50 CAN, the book is available at your favorite bookstore, or can be purchased online at various e-commerce sites including www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, or www.logigear.com.
