In today´s unforgiving business environment where customers demand zero defect software at lower costs—it is testing that provides the opportunity for software companies to separate themselves from the competition. Providing a fresh perspective on this increasingly important function, Software Testing as a Service explains, in simple language, how to use software testing to improve productivity, reduce time to market, and reduce costly errors.
The book explains how the normal functions of manufacturing can be applied to commoditize the software testing service to achieve consistent quality across all software projects. This up-to-date reference reviews different software testing tools, techniques, and practices and provides succinct guidance on how to estimate costs, allocate resources, and make competitive bids.
Replete with examples and case histories, this book shows software development managers, software testers, testing managers, and entrepreneurs how proper planning can lead to the creation of software that proves itself to be head and shoulders above the competition.

Klappentext
Actually looking at software testing as a manufacturing activity rather than a service, this book explains how one can improve productivity by commoditizing software testing. Creating schedules, allocating resources, and managing quality, all normal functions of manufacturing can be applied to software testing. Going beyond that concept, this work serves as a complete handbook for software testing as a business. It looks at different kinds of software testing, strategies, and approaches. It explains how to estimate costs, allocate resources, and make a competitive bid. Providing examples and case histories, the book shows how proper planning can help assure a good return on investment.
