Software Engineering for Science provides an in-depth collection of peer-reviewed chapters that describe experiences with applying software engineering practices to the development of scientific software. It provides a better understanding of how software engineering is and should be practiced, and which software engineering practices are effective for scientific software.

The book starts with a detailed overview of the Scientific Software Lifecycle, and a general overview of the scientific software development process. It highlights key issues commonly arising...

This book is for everyone who needs to test the web. As a tester, you'll automate your tests. As a developer, you'll build more robust solutions. And as a team, you'll gain a vocabulary and a means to coordinate how to write and organize automated tests for the web. Follow the testing pyramid and level up your skills in user interface testing, integration testing, and unit testing. Your new skills will free you up to do other, more important things while letting the computer do the one thing it's really good at: quickly running thousands of repetitive tasks.

This book shows you...

Software testing is at a very important crossroad, where it is going back to the roots on certain fronts while moving inexorably forward. For instance, test automation is growing in prominence, but manual testing is becoming a niche; we are increasingly collaborating with the developers, breaking the bounds of unrealistic independence in testing, and bringing in true conscious quality. At such an important stage, it is important to take stock of the past, present, and future to define both the direction the discipline will take as well as the careers it will entail for testers.

Managing Trade-Offs in Adaptable Software Architectures explores the latest research on adapting large complex systems to changing requirements. To be able to adapt a system, engineers must evaluate different quality attributes, including trade-offs to balance functional and quality requirements to maintain a well-functioning system throughout the lifetime of the system.

This comprehensive resource brings together research focusing on how to manage trade-offs and architect adaptive systems in different business contexts. It presents state-of-the-art techniques, methodologies,...

Learn how to write R code with fewer bugs.

The problem with programming is that you are always one typo away from writing something silly. Likewise with data analysis, a small mistake in your model can lead to a big mistake in your results. Combining the two disciplines means that it is all too easy for a missed minus sign to generate a false prediction that you don t spot until it s too late. Testing is the only way to be sure that your code, and your results, are correct.

Testing R Code teaches you how to perform development-time testing using the testthat...

Automated Web Testing is a step by step guide for the web application testers who want to try their hands at automated testing. It provides step by step instructions for setting up the Automation Framework from scratch. The framework is quite generic and as such can be applied to most website projects. This book concentrates on the 'practical side' of automated testing rather than the 'theoretical side'. It includes complete listings of the automation code for the demo website that has been set up for you to test against. The code listings explain the logic of...

Build and maintain quality software with RSpec, the popular BDD-flavored Ruby testing framework. This definitive guide from RSpec's lead developer shows you how to use RSpec to drive more maintainable designs, specify and document expected behavior, and prevent regressions during refactoring. Build a project using RSpec to design, describe, and test the behavior of your code-whether you're new to testing tools or an experienced developer.

RSpec has been downloaded more than 40 million times. Find out how to use this influential Ruby testing framework to iteratively develop a...

Model-based testing has long been used in Europe and is becoming more popular in the U.S. and the rest of the world. This book examines systems and software models, provides guidance on model selection, and explains how to test models. Readers also learn how to implement model-based testing in their development organizations. The book follows the International Software Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) syllabus on Model-Based Testing and can be used as a study guide for readers preparing for ISTQB certification.
