- The only book on the market that teaches Visual Basic from the perspective of a software tester
- Learn programming concepts necessary to successfully write automated test code
- Practical guide, loaded with examples provided by real testers with real-world experience in writing Visual Basic test code
- Considers how VB.NET and its focus on Web services will change the testing environment for VB programmers
The goal of Visual Basic for Testers is to teach readers how to use Visual Basic to increase their level of sophistication as a tester. Readers will learn how to use Visual Basic to write an automated testing project and what to look for in a well-written VB program. Mary Sweeney will help testers gain the experience necessary both to use Visual Basic to support an automated test project as well as to test a commercial application written in Visual Basic.
Visual Basic for Testers is easy to read and understand, and is not intended to be a high-level technical reference. Rather, it is a practical guide with many examples provided by real testers with real-world experience in writing Visual Basic test code. It is useful for those considering a career in testing for software development.
Since testers often want to move to development tracks, readers will also learn a lot about programming and the issues involved in maintenance and debugging.
