This complete guide to test planning and test execution answers all of your questions.

In addition, for each tool you ll find a real-life project report from a well known SAP customer. For this second edition, the book has been thoroughly revised and extended by more than 350 pages. New topics include SAP TAO, HP Quality Center, RunSAP, and SOA testing.
