| This book presents practical techniques for writing lightweight software test automation in a
.NET environment. If you develop, test, or manage .NET software, you should find this book
useful. Before .NET, writing test automation was often as difficult as writing the code for the
application under test itself. With .NET, you can write lightweight, custom test automation in
a fraction of the time it used to take. By lightweight automation, I mean small, dedicated test
harness programs that are typically two pages of source code or less in length and take less
than two hours to write. The emphasis of this book is on practical techniques that you can use
immediately.
This book is intended for software developers, testers, and managers who work with .NET
technology. This book assumes you have a basic familiarity with .NET programming but does
not make any particular assumptions about your skill level. The examples in this book have
been successfully used in seminars where the audience background has ranged from beginning
application programmers to advanced systems programmers. The content in this book
has also been used in teaching environments where it has proven highly effective as a platform
for students who are learning intermediate level .NET programming. |
