Acknowledgments

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Carol, my wife, who has demonstrated loving patience in the preparation of this third edition, and my mother and father, Joyce and Bill Lewis, whom I will never forget for their support.

I thank John Wyzalek, senior acquisitions editor at Auerbach Publications, for recognizing the importance of developing a third edition of this book. Gunasekaran Veerapillai was a technical contributor for “Emerging Specialized Areas in Testing” and David (Rusty) Dobbs was the technical contributor for “Project Management Methodology.” Both demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of software testing and project management, respectively.

Finally, I would like to thank the numerous software testing vendors who provided descriptions of their tools in Section 6, “Modern Software Testing Tools.”
