Emerald Group Publishing Limited 2005; US$ 199.00
Each summer, circulation staff in my library inventories a section of the stacks and brings collection issues to the attention of appropriate bibliographers. Since I am responsible for the economics collection, I see an array of government documents that have managed to elude the cataloging process. Many of these titles are decades old, having squatted in the library undisturbed and uncirculated since our online catalog was implemented in 1990. more...
Effective GUI Testing Automationby Kanglin Li; Mengqi Wu
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 44.99
Have you tried using an "automated" GUI testing tool, only to find that you spent most of your time configuring, adjusting, and directing it? This book presents a sensible and highly effective alternative: it teaches you to build and use your own truly automated tool. The procedure you'll learn is suitable for virtually any development environment, and the tool allows you to store your test data and verification standard separately, so you can build it once and use it for other GUIs. Most, if not all, of your work can be done without test scripts, because the tool itself can easily be made to conduct an automatic GUI survey, collect test data, and generate test cases. You'll spend virtually none of your time playing with the tool or application... more...
Developer to Designerby Mike Gunderloy
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2006; US$ 44.99
In a fantasy world, you design and build the core of your application, the parts that do all the heavy lifting. And the graphical user interface?

In the real world, there is no hot-shot sitting one cube over, and you have to build the GUI yourself. Developer to Designer: GUI Design for the Busy Developer is a unique resource designed to help you and other experienced developers build GUIs for your programs that are simple to learn, easy to use, and painless to maintain, even though you're not user interface experts. Inside, the focus is on the essentials of Windows... more...
