标题: Translation of 《Software Testing》 Second Edition By Ron Patton
想转行做软件测试，所以作为新手的我买了几本这方面的书来读，大家都说很多书要看原版的比较好，但是需要一个前提条件，就是英文水平要可以。

虽然自己的英文比较滥，但是考虑了许久，最后我还是买了Ron Patton的《Software Testing》Second Edition英文版，首先，因为它是大家推荐的软件测试入门必读书籍之一，其次，是想借机学习并提高一下自己的英语（我相信人是需要逼的）。

在读的过程中，发现这本书确实写的很好，是一本入门的好书，的的确确可以学到一些实际工作中能运用的测试技巧。

但是，毕竟自己英文水平很有限，恐怕有很多翻的不妥的地方，只是自己不知道。所以，我决定来51testing论坛发贴，把自己的翻译贴出来，除了方便交流，主要是让大家监督我，还希望高手给我指点指点。

只是为了逼自己学英文。

我第一遍粗读，第二遍精读，我想我还会读第三遍的，因为这本书写的很好。
现在第一边粗读到第6章，粗读的比较快，大概了解一下内容。
精读才刚刚开始，就是不放过任何一个英文单词，而且还要翻译出来。

坚持就是胜利！

About the Author
Ron Patton lives in the Seattle area with his wife, Valerie. His software test experience is wide and varied, from mission-critical systems to painting programs for kids. Ron graduated from Penn State in 1984 with a B.S. degree in computer science. He began his career at Taxes Instruments as a quality assurance engineer, testing embedded systems and user interface software for industrial automation equipment. In 1992 he joined Microsoft as a software test lead in the Systems Group for Multimedia Viewer, the authoring tool and multimedia display engine used by Encarta, Cinemania, and Bookshelf. He moved on to become the software test manager of the Kids Product Unit, shipping CD-ROM titles such as Creative Writer, Fine Artist, 3D movie Maker, and the Magic School Bus series. Before he left Microsoft, he was the software test manager of the Hardware Group, responsible for the software shipped with the mouse, keyboard, gaming, telephony, and ActiMates product lines. He currently is a freelance project management and software quality consultant.
Ron’s most memorable project was ActiMates Barney, for which he test managed both the hardware and software efforts. “Microsoft actually paid my team and me to shake, bake, freeze, thaw, pull, drop, tumble, dunk, and shock dozens of prototype Barney dolls until we reduced them to piles of electronic rubble and purple fuzz,” he recalls. “You can’t get much more test satisfaction than that.”
If you have comments or suggestions for this book, or if you find a bug in it that you want to report, you can send Ron an email at test@valart.com
作者简介
罗恩.巴顿和他的妻子瓦莱丽一起居住在西雅图地区。他的软件测试经验博大精深，从关键业务系统到儿童绘图程序。罗恩于1984年毕业于宾西法尼亚州州立大学，并获得了计算机科学理学士学位。他的职业生涯始于德州仪器，担任质量保证工程师，负责测试工业自动化设备中的嵌入式系统和用户接口软件。1992年他作为软件测试组长加入微软公司的系统组，致力于运用于微软百科全书、微软疯狂电影和微软书架的多媒体阅读器、创作工具和多媒体展示引擎等测试工作。后来他升职为儿童娱乐产品部门的软件测试经理，负责需要海运外销的光盘，如创造作家、艺术家、3D电影制作和魔法学校班车系列。在他离开微软之前，他已是硬件组的软件测试经理了，负责测试关系到鼠标、键盘、博弈、电话和ActiMates生产线的软件。他目前是一个自由职业者：项目管理人兼软件质量顾问。
罗恩所测试的项目中让他最记忆犹新的是ActiMates Barney项目，他负责软件和硬件两方面的测试工作。“微软实际上让我和我的团队利用摇晃、烘烤、冷藏、溶解、拉、扯、摔、浸泡和电击等方式来测试成打的Barney玩偶雏形直到我们把他们捣成一堆电子碎片和紫色绒毛。”他回忆说，“再也没有比这更令人满意的测试了。”

Dedication
To my best friend and wife, Valerie, who’s hoping that after I finish this second edition we can go on vacation to a tropical island.
题词
将此书献给我最好的朋友，我的妻子瓦莱丽，她一直希望等我完成了第2版后能同她一起去一个热带岛屿度假。

Acknowledgments
Many thanks go to Sams Publishing and the editors and staff who helped me publish this second edition. A big thank you goes to Danny Faught who provided great input as an expert reviewer.
To my parents, Walter and Eleanore, for allowing me to quit my accordion lessons and buying me a TRS-80 Model I computer back in 1977. To my sister, Saundra, for keeping my parents busy with her baton competitions so I could hide in my room and learn to program. To Ruth Voland, my computer science teacher at Mohawk High School, for dragging me to all those science fairs and giving me extra time on the school’s ASR 33 teletypes. To Mark Ferrell, who taught me electronics and kept me out of trouble as a teenager. To Alan Backus and Galen Freemon of TI for allowing me the freedom to explore software test automation. To all my past co-workers and employees for teaching me more than I could have ever learned myself about software testing. And to my wonderful wife, Valerie, for saying, “Go ahead, send it in, see what happens” when, in1991, I posed the question of sending my resume to a little company in far-away Seattle called Microsoft. Each of you made a contribution to this book. Thank you!
致谢
十分感谢萨姆斯出版社，感谢所有的编辑，以及所有帮助过我出版本书第2版的人。特别感谢丹尼.福特作为一个专业评论家提供了大量有用的资料。
感谢我的父母，沃尔特和埃利诺，允许我退掉手风琴的课程，而且在1977年他们给我买了一台TRS-80 I型的计算机。感谢我的妹妹，桑德拉，在忙于接力比赛的时候照顾父母，因此我可以躲在自己的房间学习编程。感谢卢斯.沃兰德，我在Mohawk高中的计算机老师，带着我去各种科学展会，还给我额外的时间去研究学校的ASR 33电报交换机。感谢马克.费洛教会我电子学应用，并使我摆脱青少年的困惑。感谢艾伦.巴克斯和TI的迦林.傅雷让我自由探索软件测试自动化。感谢所有以前的同事和搭档教会了我很多我自己没办法学到的软件测试方面的东西。还有，感谢我出色的妻子，瓦莱丽，1991年当我询问是否要将我的简历投递到一家远在西雅图的名叫微软的小公司时，是你对我说，“去吧，递过去，看看会发生什么事情”。你们每一个人都为这本书作出了贡献。非常感谢！

Introduction
It seems as though each day there’s yet another news story about a computer software problem or security breach: a bank reporting incorrect account balances, a Mars Lander lost in space, a grocery store scanner charging too much for bananas, or a hacker gaining access to millions of credit numbers.
Why does this happen? Can’t computer programmers figure out ways to make software just plain work? Unfortunately, no. As software gets more complex, gains more features, and is more interconnected, it becomes more an more difficult---actually, mathematically impossible---to create a glitch-free program. Despite how competent the programmers are and how much care is taken, there will always be software problems.
This is where software testing comes in. We’ve all found those little Inspector 12 tags in the pockets of our new clothes. Well, software has Inspector 12s, too. Most large software companies are so committed to quality they have one or more testers for each programmer. These jobs span the software spectrum from computer games to factory automation to business applications.
This book, Software Testing, will introduce you to the basics of software testing, necessary to become a successful software tester. You will learn how to immediately find problems in any computer program, how to plan an effective test approach, how to clearly report your findings, and how to tell when your software is ready for release.
引言
似乎每天仍有关于计算机软件问题和安全性漏洞的新闻报道：银行报告出现错误收支平衡、火星登陆者号探测器消失在太空、超市扫描仪器使香蕉收费太高，或者黑客获取数百万张信用卡卡号。
为什么会发生这些事情？难道计算机程序员就不会想办法使软件正常的工作吗？很不幸，没有办法。随着软件变得越来越复杂，功能越来越多，而且内部有更多的互联，那将变得越来越困难，事实上，写出一个无缺陷的程序是绝对不可能的事情。不管程序员的水平有多高，不管程序员多么心细，软件缺陷是一直存在的。
这就是软件测试的由来。我们发现在新衣服的口袋里有12个检验标记。对的，软件也有12个检验标记。大多数大型软件公司都致力于品质，他们为每一个程序员配备一个或更多的测试人员。此类工作涵盖了从计算机游戏到工厂自动化和商业应用领域。
软件测试这本书将给你介绍基本的软件测试基础知识，成为一个优秀软件测试员的必备特质。你将学习如何立即从任何计算机程序中发现问题，如何规划一个有效的测试方法，如何清楚地报告你所发现的问题，以及如何确定软件何时可以发布。

About the Second Edition
When I wrote the first edition of Software Testing, software security issues were just beginning to make the headlines. Hackers and security problems had always been a problem, but with the interconnectivity explosion that was about to occur, few in the industry could predict the impact that security bugs would have on developers and users of computer software.
In this second edition I’ve revisited every chapter to emphasize software security issues and point out how the basic testing techniques covered throughout the book can be used to prevent, find and fix them. I’ve also added a chapter that specifically addresses how to test for software security bugs.
If you’re a reader of the first edition, you know that no matter what you do, your software will still be released with bugs. As you’ll learn in the second edition, this axiom still holds true---even for security problems. However, by applying the lessons taught in this book you’ll go a long way towards assuring that the most important bugs don’t slip through and that your team will create the highest quality and most secure software possible.
关于第二版
当我写《软件测试》第一版的时候，软件安全性问题刚刚引起重视。黑客和安全性问题一直是一个难题，随着即将发生的互联性激增，业内极少有人可以预言安全漏洞会给计算机软件程序员和使用者带来什么影响。
在这本书的第二版中，我重写了每一章中关于软件安全问题的内容，并且指出了本书中有哪些基础测试技术可以用来预防、查找和解决这些问题。我还增加了一个章节专门讨论如何检测软件安全问题。
假如你是本书第一版的读者，你知道不管怎样，软件都将会带着缺陷发布。在第二版中，这个原则将仍然有效，此原则同样适用于软件安全问题。但是，通过应用本书中教授的经验，会帮助你确保不会遗漏重大缺陷，并可能创建高质量高安全性软件。

Who Should Use This Book?
This book is written for three different groups of people:
 Students of computer hobbyists interested in software testing as a full-time job, internship, or co-op. Read this book before your interview or before your first day on the job to really impress your new boss.
 Career changers wanting to move from their field of experience into the software industry. There are lots of opportunities for non-software experts to apply their knowledge to software testing. For example, a flight instructor could test a flight simulator game, an accountant could test tax preparation software, or a teacher could test a new child education program.
 Programmers, software project managers, and other people who make up a software development team who want to improve their knowledge and understanding of what software testing is all about.
本书读着群？
本书针对三类不同人群：
 想把软件测试作为全职工作的学生和计算机爱好者，比如实习生，带薪合作实习生。在你面试或者第一天上班前阅读本书，将会使你给老板留下深刻的好印象。
 想从自己有经验的行业领域转到软件产业的人，软件测试为那些非软件行业专家提供了很多施展他们学识的机会。比如，飞行教官可以测试飞行类模拟游戏，会计师可以测试税务软件，教师可以测试一个新的儿童教育软件。
 所有想要提高和了解什么是软件测试的程序员、软件项目经理，以及软件开发团对的其他人员。

What This Book Will Do for you

Part I
The Big Picture
A crash is when your competitor’s program dies. When your program dies, it is an “idiosyncrasy.” Frequently, crashes are followed with a message like “ID 02.” “ID” is an abbreviation for “idiosyncrasy” and the number that follows indicates how many more months of testing the product should have had.

In 1947, computers were big, room-sized machines operating on mechanical relays and glowing vacuum tubes. The state of the art at the time was the Mark II, a behemoth being built at Harvard University. Technicians were running the new computer through its paces when it suddenly stopped working. They scrambled to figure out why and discovered, stuck between a set of relay contacts deep in the bowels of the computer, moth. It had apparently flown into the system, attracted by the light and heat, and was zapped by the high voltage when it landed on the relay.
The computer bug was born. Well, okay, it died, but you get the point.
Welcome to the first chapter of Software Testing. In this chapter, you’ll learn about the history of software bugs and software testing.
Highlights of this chapter include
       How software bugs impact our lives
       What bugs are and why they occur
       Who software testers are and what they do

Infamous Software Error Case Studies
It’s easy to take software for granted and not really appreciate how much it has infiltrated our daily lives. Back in 1947, the Mark II computer required legions of programmers to constantly maintain it. The average person never conceived of someday having his own computer in his home. Now there’s free software CD-ROMs attached to cereal boxes and more software in our kids’ video games than on the space shuttle. What once were techie gadgets, such as pagers and cell phones, have become commonplace. Most of us now can’t go a day without logging on to the Internet and checking our email. We rely on overnight packages, long-distance phone service, and cutting-edge medical treatment.
Software is everywhere. However, it’s written by people---so it’s not perfect, as the following examples show.
臭名昭著的软件错误案例研究
我们理所当然的接受软件的存在但却未曾真正意识到软件已经多大程度上渗透进我们的日常生活。回到1947年，用Mark第二代技术建造的计算机需要大量程序员时常去维护它。一般人从来没有设想过某一天在自己家中能拥有一台属于自己的电脑。现在到处都是附带在麦片盒的免费光盘，而且小孩子的电动游戏机里面的软件比太空飞船上的软件还要多。那些曾经只有技术员使用的小装置现在都已经变得很普遍了，比如寻呼机、手机。我们大多数人现在每天都要登陆互联网和者查收邮件。我们依赖隔夜包裹、长途电话服务，以及最先进的医疗服务。
软件无处不在。但是，它是人们手写出来的，所以它不是完美的，比如下面的例子。

回复 62# cxiaoyi

一般来说毕业论文外文翻译的材料最好是没有人翻译过的，如果翻译过的最好也不要是雷同的，这本书本身就已经是经典，相信被翻译的次数不会少，加上你直接搬用LZ的翻译，估计你的导师会查到，三思。

以前我一直想找这本书的英文版的电子书，无奈找不到。
我发现LZ还真是一丝不苟啊，连简介什么的都翻译了，赞一个！

说的好，也是刚刚拿到这本书，看着很费劲，不过你说的对，人是要逼着的。
