Résumé :

• Start-to-finish system assurance techniques for enterprise Web applications.
• Maximizing application security: Web server, database server, browser, and content
• Detailed coverage of choosing and using automated Web application testing tools.

Enterprise Web developers are trapped between a rock and a hard place: they're under tremendous pressure to get to market fast -- but if they deploy systems of poor quality, they will drive away customers -- losing revenue and market share for years to come. Quality Web Systems gives software professionals start-to-finish resources for enhancing quality and accelerating development at the same time. Quality Web Systems identifies the key obstacles to delivering Web systems that deliver promised levels of performance, security, and usability -- and proven solutions. Coverage includes: identifying key success criteria for Web development; specifying Web system functionality through RSI (Requirement-Service-Interface) use cases; creating test cases; checking browser and platform compatibility; identifying and testing for security vulnerabilities; planning and evaluating ease-of-use; and meeting specified performance and scalability requirements. Elfriede E. Dustin has extensive experience as an analyst and programmer working in all phases of the development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, development, and automated software testing. She is principal author of Automated Software Testing (Addison-Wesley). Jeff Rashka has managed many large-scale IT and systems integration projects, including worldwide transportation asset management applications, data warehouses, and financial and inventory management systems. He has extensive process improvement management experience, implementing both ISO 9001 and SEI's Capability Maturity Model. Doug McDiarmid is a consultant specializing in architecting and developing distributed web systems, from UML use-case modeling through verification of performance, security and compatibility.
