Acknowledgement
As with any large project, no one is responsible for 100% of the efforts, and in case of this book “Instant Approach to Software Testing”, the road to its success has been a long and cumulative effort. Editing a book is harder than I thought and is more rewarding that I could have ever imagined. None of this would have been possible without the efforts of Contributing Authors in this book.
I am grateful to my Contributing authors: Pooja Batra Nagpal, Anuja Nair, Vivek Kumar Prasad, Sudeep Tanwar, Jaspreet Kaur, Gunjan Goswami, Bandana Mahapatra, Neha Sharma, Kreena Joshi, Malini Patil, Mohseena Thaseen, Kauseer Hamid, Khutaija Maheen, Amna Asif and Jaspreet Singh. Without their hard work, and continuous cum dedicated efforts, this masterpiece in area of software testing would not have been possible.
I am especially thankful and indebted to 2 persons: Dr. Sudeep Tanwar and Dr. Bandana Mahapatra for their valuable insights, and providing their valuable time to time feedback to enhance the quality and contents of the book. It is also their efforts and encouragement that I have got this chance to land this book in the hands of students, researchers and IT industry professionals to use this book for software testing.
Most important, I thank almighty God, who was always there with me to overcome all the challenges, hard times and blessed me with strong wisdom and light to make this edited book possible.
Last, but not the least, I thank BPB Publications for believing in me and giving me golden opportunity to publish my valuable work with them.

Preface
Software Engineering is regarded as important discipline where testing of the product is highly technical and organizational concern along with factor of cost. The primary aspect which makes Software Testing a big concern, is the size and complexity of the software products which makes the design of software product at high risk and prone to errors. Another factor is lack of any systematic process for testing software products, and product quality cannot be assured. Software Testing has become essential factor for overall good software outcome and the project leaders has to measure all the attributes of the process and product accurately to assure time delivery of software and within budgets.
The Book “Software Testing” is technical outcome of various experienced authors in Software Testing industry. The book provides deep insight into software testing in highly comprehensive manner and is well updated with all latest developments in various methodologies in software testing.
The Book starts with Fundamental aspects and prime introduction to Software Testing in Chapter-1 . Chapter-2 gives detailed insights of various fundamentals and basic definitions involved in software testing. The chapter will also bridge the gap in organizing testing strategies and policies and applications of specific tests. Chapter-3 gives in-depth overview of various categories of software errors and various error detection techniques. Chapter-4 highly stresses on testing activities and deliverables of testing process and also highlight various test cases and test suites by using various testing techniques and will enable the users to prepare test document as per IEEE standard 829. Chapter 5 covers technical insight into test cases. Chapter 6 will cover various defects and defect life cycle in comprehensive manner and will also cover some real-time test cases. Chapter 7 provides coverage to test reports and will also cover how to write test reports. Chapter 8 covers various planning and design tests and will highlight to setup working environment for software testing and automation. The chapter also includes demonstration of Selenium Web Driver to automate test for various software applications. The Book concludes with inclusion of various Software Testing Standards in Chapter 9 .
