⭐️ Free Book - "Testing Design Thoughts"
⭐️ Introduction
- This book is a rare book at home and abroad that specifically discusses the idea of test design. It condenses the essence of wisdom in the field of testing and is a philosophy of contrasting ideals and reality.
- Pioneeringly divides test design ideas into eight categories: systematic ideas, enumerative ideas, normative ideas, diverse ideas, statistical ideas, redundant ideas, reasoning ideas, and control ideas. Focusing on each type of thought, the test design methods, practices and theories from different fields are explained in depth, so as to analyze how to alleviate the basic problems of testing based on this thought.
- Testing is the most important means of quality control, and test design is the most creative and challenging intellectual activity in testing. The idea of test design originates from engineering and surpasses engineering; it is based on specific fields and crosses specific fields. This book adapts to the development trend of "interdisciplinary and multi-field integration" in contemporary R&D and production activities. It's worth a look.
This book has 9 chapters in total:
- Chapter 1 Basic Concepts
- Chapter 2 System
- Chapter 3 Enumerations
- Chapter 4 Standardization
- Chapter 5 Diversification
- Chapter 6 Statistics
- Chapter 7 Redundancy
- Chapter 8 Reasoning
- Chapter 9 Control

⭐️ Contents of this book
- In the process of product development and production, testing is the most important means of quality control, and test design is the most creative and challenging intellectual activity in testing. Numerous testers have worked hard here, leaving a lot of excellent research and practical results. For a long time, these achievements have been regarded as subordinate parts of the theoretical and technical systems in various professional fields such as computer software, integrated circuits, and product quality management, forming subsystems such as "software test design", "circuit test design", and "sampling inspection design". There are few connections and fusions among the various subsystems. In fact, when we think about the nature of test design, we find that testing activities in different professional fields have similar behavioral connotations, and testers in different professional fields also face similar contradictions and problems. In order to alleviate these contradictions and problems, various test design methods came into being. The specific forms of these methods have their own characteristics in different fields, but there are some common test design ideas behind them.
- Interdisciplinary and multi-field integration has become the development trend of contemporary science and technology and industrial production. Future testers are bound to face more complex and comprehensive test objects, and relying solely on test knowledge in a certain professional field may not be able to complete test design tasks well.
- Based on this, we see such a possibility: test design will become a cross-field comprehensive work, and testers will become a cross-field general-purpose talent. Furthermore, we also see the necessity of explaining test design from a metaphysical point of view.
- This is exactly what this book attempts to do. "Test design thinking" is the theme of this book. These thoughts originate from engineering and go beyond engineering; they are based on specific fields and cross specific fields; they are based on methodology and are close to epistemology. Chapter 1 mainly clarifies the semantic setting of "test", and summarizes two basic purposes and five basic questions of testing; Chapters 2~9 explain eight types of test design ideas one by one, namely system thinking, enumeration thinking, Normative thinking, diverse thinking, statistical thinking, redundant thinking, reasoning thinking, and controlling thinking. Around each category of ideas, test design practices and concepts from different fields will be explained in depth, so as to analyze how to alleviate the basic problems of testing based on this idea.
- The birth of all test design ideas comes from the testers' tireless pursuit of quality and the polishing of knowledge excellence. More importantly, is the ambition to protect the world. Take this opportunity to pay tribute to those testers who guard the world: Elaine J.Weyuker, Tsong Yueh Chen, Hong Zhu, Phyllis G.Frankl, William E.Howden, Dick Hamlet, Ali Mili, Fairouz Tchier, Ammann Paul, Jeff Offutt , David R. MacIver, and all academics and engineers mentioned in the chapter references. Pay tribute to all the testers who are fighting in the front line of testing in various fields, fighting between ideals and reality.
