I want to thank Prof. Mahabala, my Guru, who has been a champion in software testing and has motivated me towards it. He has been a constant source of inspiration for me over the last twenty years. I also want to thank Department of Computer Science, Anna University and International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore for enabling me to teach courses of Software Testing, which has been a source of learning. My special thanks are also due to Prof. Sadagopan, for the iiit-b Press initiative. Finally, I want to acknowledge the support of my family, without which I would not have been able to give the kind of effort that went in to making this book. I can be contacted at [email protected].
