Finding major design issues late in development—and the resulting unpredictability at a project’s end—cause many projects to suffer. The use of graphical test planning (GTP) helps eliminate this unpredictability. GTP is a revolutionary test analysis method that uses behavior modeling to capture the system design, anticipate product bugs before coding, and develop test suites before code is ready. GTP is lightweight, yet covers boundary conditions, class equivalence, domain analysis, and combinations. David Bradley shows how to use your skills and experiences to identify and remove design issues from the beginning. Learn how to capture detailed technical information that elicits input and reviews from many sources, making testing a valuable and integral part of the whole project lifecycle. Discover how GTP provides the flexibility, efficiency, and agility to fit in with today’s development processes. Explore how you can use GTP to successfully test your next project—no matter how challenging.
