A note about “Software Testing”

I read “Software Testing” by Ron Patton. The title is very generic, so I thought what the book’s main topic.

The book is 2nd edition. The 1st was published in 2001.

When I searched “Grey box” before, I met this book. I wanted to know what was the root about the word/concept of “Grey box” testing. This is kindly combination of “white box” and “black box”.

But the explanation is generally very abstract. Thus, I thought to find the origin, first.

The book has many topics we can learn even now. Functional testing, internationalisation, usability, web testing, automation etc. In details, some situations like tools differed than recent days, but most of their knowledge should work well.

I would like to read that again, I felt when I picked it up to check the grey box’s history in a writing work.
