Software Testing: Concepts and Operations (Quantitative Software Engineering Series) delves into the core principles and practices of software testing. Authored by Ali Mili, this first edition explores key concepts such as software quality engineering and testing, test data generation, deployment analysis, and management strategies. The book is structured into five parts: Part I introduces the broader context of software testing within software engineering and examines its lifecycle; Part II focuses on mathematical foundations, including specification, correctness, verification, dependability, and taxonomy; Part III covers test data generation using functional and structural criteria; Part IV discusses test oracle and driver design, along with outcome analysis. Finally, Part V addresses managerial aspects such as metrics, tools, and product line testing.

Presentation of software testing integrates it into the broader discipline of verification and validation, highlighting its importance in ensuring software quality. This comprehensive guide is ideal for professionals and students seeking a thorough understanding of software testing principles and operations.
