Change-Based Test Management: Improving the Software Validation Process
by Jon Sistowicz, Ray Arell

---

With the difficulties of today's economy, many companies are placing a renewed emphasis on reducing expenses. Unfortunately, software validation is often one of the first areas to feel the pressure of lower budgets. With the ever-increasing complexity and speed of today's hardware, how can you continue to produce a high quality product while maintaining or even lowering your operational costs? The answer lies in refining the validation process.

This book is an introduction to Change-Based Test Management (CBTM), specifically written for software engineers and testing specialists. CBTM is a prioritization scheme that focuses on testing the changed portions of software first. Using this new methodology, software quality can be significantly improved, while development time can be reduced.

Topics include an overview of current development models and test methodologies, a complete and comprehensive study of CBTM, in-depth case studies, and test automation techniques. Learn how to:

Use CBTM to increase software quality and decrease testing time and cost

Validate earlier in the development cycle to lower the cost of removing defects

Write better tests, monitor their performance, and measure the improvement

Automate the validation tasks using the right tools for the job
