New Slides to Replace Chapter 1
We are currently working on the second edition. A major change is to expand the old Chapter 1 into Part 1 with five
chapters. All chapter numbers will change in the new edition. Below are slides for four of these chapters. These were
class-tested in our MS-level course in software testing Fall 2013. Comments, questions, and corrections are welcome.
