Testing software is a very important and challenging activity. This is a book for people who test software during its development. Our focus is on object-oriented and component-based software, but you can apply many of the techniques discussed in this book regardless of the development paradigm. We assume our reader is familiar with testing procedural software—that is, software written in the procedural paradigm using languages such as C, Ada, Fortran, or COBOL. We also assume our reader is familiar and somewhat experienced in developing software using object-oriented and component-based technologies. Our focus is on describing what to test in object-oriented development efforts as well as on describing techniques for how to test object-oriented software, and how testing software built with these newer technologies differs from testing procedural software.
This book focuses on the real-world issues that arise in planning and implementing effective testing for object-oriented and component-based software development. It shows how testing object-oriented software differs from testing procedural software and highlights the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in object-oriented software testing.

One comprehensive example runs throughout the book to demonstrate testing techniques for each stage of development. In addition, the book highlights important questions that testers should ask when faced with specific testing tasks.

Packed with procedures, tips, tricks, techniques, and ideas, this guide provides comprehensive, coverage of the revamped Excel interface, new file formats, enhanced interactivity with other Office applications, and upgraded collaboration features.

This power-user’s guide is packed with procedures, tips, and ideas for expanding Excel’s capabilities with Visual Basic for Applications. Excel 2007 has a few new tricks up its sleeve, and John Walkenbach helps you make the most of them all. You’ll learn to customize Excel UserForms, develop new utilities, use VBA with charts and PivotTables, and create event-handling applications. Work with VBA subprocedures and function procedures, facilitate interactions with other applications, build user-friendly toolbars, menus, and help systems, and much more. Get ready to make Excel do your bidding.

This book focuses on Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the programming language built into Excel (and other applications that make up Microsoft Office). More specifically, it will show you how to write programs that automate various tasks in Excel. This book covers everything from recording simple macros through creating sophisticated user-oriented applications and utilities. This book does not cover Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). VSTO is a relatively new technology that uses Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C#. VSTO can also be used to control Excel and other Microsoft Office applications.

You can use this book any way that you please. If you choose to read it from cover to cover, be my guest. But because I’m dealing with intermediate-to-advanced subject matter, the chapter order is often immaterial. I suspect that most readers will skip around, picking up useful tidbits here and there. If you’re faced with a challenging task, you might try the index first to see whether the book specifically addresses your problem.

What does this book do? This book addresses interface and screen design from the user’s perspective, spelling out hundreds of guidelines for good design in a clear and concise manner. It blends the results of screen design research, knowledge concerning people, knowledge about the hardware and software capabilities of the interface, and my practical experience, which now spans 45 years in display-based systems.

This book’s first objective is to present the important practical guidelines for good interface and screen design. It is intended as a ready reference source for all graphical and Web systems. The guidelines reflect a mix of human behavior, science, and art, and are organized within the context of the GUI design process.

The book’s other objective is to provide materials that, when applied, will allow our users to become more productive—and more satisfied—using the interfaces we produce. A satisfied user also means, of course, a satisfied designer.
