Thorough testing is the basis of good software. Whether we use an agile development methodology such as Extreme Programming, or a more traditional approach, we must test our software at the unit level and application level. The tests must run automatically and cover all aspects of the software.
In this book, the authors draw on more than 20 years of experience to show how automated testing can be applied to a real commercial product.
This book will teach you how to automatically test user interfaces (Swing GUIs), the help system, internationalization, log files, spreadsheets, email, and web services, how to perform tests involving multiple JVMs, and a host of other things. These tests are applied at the module level (unit tests) and at the application level (function tests).
The authors have developed the test processes in the broader context of an Extreme Programming (XP) methodology. However, the testing techniques are certainly not specific to XP, and may be applied within any given development methodology.

Hi everybody,
Except books, magazines are always the very good sources of knowledge, I believe that many of you are loyal readers of eWeek, SD Times, Electronic Gaming Monthly, CIO Insight, Dr Dobb 's Journal … etc. KnowFree 's contributors are contributing a lot of them, but it seems not to be enough.
Recently, I have receive a offer from a partner to provide KnowFree 's visitors hundred kinds of magazines for free. I mean they are really free, you just put your email in the box, answer a few questions ( I tried, and I am sure that it won't take you more than 5 minutes) then start receiving your favorites magazines directly to your mail box. I think that it is still one of advertising kinds, but they are providing really good things, without credit card or trial period as I had experienced before.
"It's worth it to them to give you the magazine free because you have a genuine need for the information and products described therein. Advertisers need a vehicle to deliver their message to you which justifies spending advertising dollars to give subscriptions for free."
So, let start with SD Times, one of my favorite one. Or you can browse hundreds of other kinds HERE

Hi everyone,
Currently, I am processing some developement on KnowFree, for both functions and appearance. The new lay out, as you could notice, has been not changed much. I just improve the old one, make it more clear and clean. About functionality, I am adding some more features, which will be released and announce officially in a very near future.
In this progress, I really need your help. As usual, I am still the only one on this project. Then, I can't check everything carefully. So, if you find some thing strange or wrong please post the comment below this article. I will try to fix them.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards
A new, updated, and revised edition of the best-selling #1 book on any open source programming topic. The first and still the most popular book on combining two widely used open source tools to create dynamic Web sites.
Readers have consistently praised the books clear, practical approach - some have even called it the best technical book theyve ever read.
New edition covers MySQL 4.0 and PHP 4.2, and includes new coverage of XML and the popular PEAR repository of code. PHP and MySQL Web Development, Second Edition teaches the reader to develop dynamic, secure, commercial Web sites. Using the same accessible, popular teaching style of the first edition, this best-selling book has been updated to reflect the rapidly changing landscape of MySQL and PHP. The book teaches the reader to integrate and implement these technologies by following real-world examples and working sample projects, and also covers related technologies needed to build a commercial Web site, such as SSL, shopping carts, and payment systems. The second edition includes new coverage of how to work with XML in developing a PHP and MySQL site, and how to draw on the valuable resources of the PEAR repository of code and extensions. (more…)
Maybe you're a great programmer or IT professional, but marketing isn't your thing. Or perhaps you're a tech-savvy search engine marketer who wants a peek under the hood of a search engine optimized web site. Search engine marketing is a field where technology and marketing are both critical and interdependent, because small changes in the implementation of a web site can make you or break you in search engine rankings. Furthermore, the fusion of technology and marketing know-how can create web site features that attract more visitors. The mission of this book is to help web developers create web sites that rank well with the major search engines, and to teach search engine marketers how to use technology to their advantage. We assert that neither marketing nor IT can exist in a vacuum, and it is essential that they not see themselves as opposing forces in an organization. They must work together. This book aims to educate both sides in that regard.

Hi, everybody !
KnowFree.net has been established nearly a year. At the outset, it is just my hobby to share some interesting ebooks, then the site is growing bigger and bigger. Actually, I had the wish to improve KnowFree.net for a long time ago. The problem is that I am just an amateur at programming(I am doing a Bachelor of Commerce), and only me could not develop a complete system even I have some useful experiences at PHP, Javascsript and xHTML/CSS. As the result, you could see that, KnowFree is messy, contain many bugs, and somehow not really user friendly.
Someday ago, I was very surprising and happy when receiving a kind suggestion from Aiko to help me improve the site. He such a kind person, he just want to make KnowFree better and more useful to everybody. Then, we have some discussions and preparations to the project. We are planning and make a schedule to improve the core of KnowFree, make it easier, more powerful and more flexible to everyone. You could take a look a something is going on here.
Till now, there are only two member in this project, me and Aiko. I wonder that whether or not I can find any help from KnowFree members. I guess that there are a lot of talent guys, who own wonderful computing skills, in our community (or I am wrong ?). So, if you only spend about one or two hours to help us, we are really grateful. At the moment, we are doing on BaseCamp, it is very convenience and flexible for an international team work.We are doing things related to Ajax, Javascript, MySQL and PHP, however anyone, who want to join, you are more than welcome.
Finally, the reward is that your names will be remembered by at least 80000 members of KnowFree.net (the exact number is 85707), we could make more friends, develop skills about web programming, team works and developing a community.
Thank you very much
Mr.Blue
P/S: At this moment, I have a small trouble with the mail system, and the contact form may not be used, so you can leave your comments here or send me private messages via the forum (my nickname is Mr.Blue).
Hi everybody,
You may aware of the downtime of KnowFree.net recently. The reason is that I have changed the server, the old one is nearly overloaded with the big number of visits daily. I hope this is better for now.
Also, two important bugs were fixed:
1. Can't be accessed in Opera
2. Private Message in the Fourm doesn't work
Regards
Mr.Blue
As you may known, our forum has just been opened ,and till this moment we have 3 very enthusiastic moderators:
1. ilcfloran will take care Networking section
2. lovepc will take care Programming section
3. aiko.onedan will take care Design section
They are working so hard to support our community. So, why you still stand out of the game ? Let join now .
My goal is that we could establish a group, and develop our community as well as our site better and better. Moreover, I hope that we could use the knowledge from books on this site to build some kinds of open source or free applications or some non-profit projects for the community ( I am still thinking of this idea, but not find any out-standing idea yet ).
Thanks for visiting and joining this site.

In addition, this book:
* Provides a general overview of the XP methodology
* Defines the roles of XP team members
* Shows how to write effective tests before coding begins
* Helps you avoid the traps and pitfalls that can derail software projects
* Sheds light on the important practice of refactoring and how it relates to testing
* Compares and contrasts manual and automated tests
Many software engineers have dismissed XP as a throw-out-the-rulebook, anything-goes technique. It isn't. As this book shows, XP is a deliberate and disciplined approach to software development. Many software engineers have reaped the benefits of this agile methodology because its emphasis on testing eliminates much of the risk inherent in software projects. XP helps developers produce software on time, under budget, and at a higher quality level. But you can't XP if you don't test. With this book as a guide, you will learn to embrace testing. A sound testing program is the engine that drives an XP project.

A hands-on guide to testing techniques that deliver reliable software and systems
Testing even a simple system can quickly turn into a potentially infinite task. Faced with tight costs and schedules, testers need to have a toolkit of practical techniques combined with hands-on experience and the right strategies in order to complete a successful project. World-renowned testing expert Rex Black provides you with the proven methods and concepts that test professionals must know. He presents you with the fundamental techniques for testing and clearly shows you how to select and apply successful strategies to test a system with budget and time constraints.
Black begins by discussing the goals and tactics of effective and efficient testing. Next, he lays the foundation of his technique for risk-based testing, explaining how to analyze, prioritize, and document risks to the quality of the system using both informal and formal techniques. He then clearly describes how to design, develop, and, ultimately, document various kinds of tests. Because this is a hands-on activity, Black includes realistic, life-sized exercises that illustrate all of the major test techniques with detailed solutions.
By the end of this book, you'll know more about the nuts and bolts of testing than most testers learn in an entire career, and you'll be ready to put those ideas into action on your next test project.
With the help of real-world examples integrated throughout the chapters, you'll discover how to:
* Analyze the risks to system quality
* Allocate your testing effort appropriately based on the level of risk
* Choose the right testing strategies every time
* Design tests based on a system's expected behavior (black box) or internal structure (white box)
* Plan and perform integration testing
* Explore and attack the system
* Focus your hard work to serve the needs of the project
The author's companion Web site provides exercises, tips, and techniques that can be used to gain valuable experience and effectively test software and systems.
