Many books have been written about software testing, but most of them discuss the general framework of testing from a traditional perspective. Unfortunately, traditional test design techniques are often ineffective and unreliable for revealing the various kinds of faults that may occur. This book introduces three new software testing techniques: Two-Phase Model-Based Testing, the Action-State Testing, and the General Predicate Testing, all of which work best when applied with efficient fault revealing capabilities. You’ll start with a short recap of software testing, focusing on why risk analysis is obligatory, how to classify bugs practically, and how fault-based testing can be used for improving test design. You’ll then see how action-state testing merges the benefits of state transition testing and use case testing into a unified approach. Moving on you’ll look at general predicate testing and how it serves as an extension of boundary value analysis, encompassing more complex predicates. Two-phase model-based testing represents an advanced approach where the model does not necessarily need to be machine-readable; human readability suffices. The first phase involves a high-level model from which abstract tests are generated. Upon manual execution of these tests, the test code is generated. Rather than calculating output values, they are merely checked for conformity. The last part of this book contains a chapter on how developers and testers can help each other and work as a collaborative team. For software developers, QA engineers, and, business analysts.

The objective of this book is to implement signal processing algorithms in Python. There are many open-source software packages available to implement signal processing algorithms. The reasons for choosing Python are (1) it is a general-purpose programming language that can be used for various tasks beyond scientific computing. (2) Python has an active community of developers who create and maintain a wide range of libraries and frameworks. (3) Python has become the language of choice for many Machine Learning and Deep Learning applications with powerful libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras. The main aim of signal processing is to extract information from the signal. After extracting useful information, further processing, like classification of information, has to be done effectively using Machine Learning and Deep Learning libraries in Python. In this book, Python is used as a tool to implement signal processing algorithms. Teaching Python is not the main aim of this book. Python is used as a vehicle to present concepts related to signal processing. In this book, the signals are generated, manipulated, transformed, and useful information is extracted using libraries available in Python. The Python programs used in this book are purposively made simple and illustrative. The libraries used in this book include (1) Numpy, (2) Scipy, (3) Matplotlib, etc. These libraries provide a wide range of tools and functions for performing operations like filtering, resampling, prediction, etc.

An understanding of psychology-specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces-is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design instead of working within the "blueprint" of how humans perceive and process the world around them. This practical guide explains how you can apply key principles of psychology to build products and experiences that are more human-centered and intuitive. Author Jon Yablonski deconstructs familiar apps and experiences to provide clear examples of how UX designers can build interfaces that adapt to how users perceive and process digital interfaces. Since the first edition of this book, LLMs (Large Language Models) have undergone significant advancements, AI-powered image generation tools have emerged, spatial computing has entered the mainstream, and smartphones have become even more powerful. However, the principles and concepts covered in this book remain timeless, and they provide a solid foundation for every designer, regardless of their level of expertise. To enhance the reader’s experience, the second edition includes additional information linking these principles and concepts to psychology concepts, techniques, and key considerations.

Minimalist Data Wrangling with Python is envisaged as a student's first introduction to data science, providing a high-level overview as well as discussing key concepts in detail. We explore methods for cleaning data gathered from different sources, transforming, selecting, and extracting features, performing exploratory data analysis and dimensionality reduction, identifying naturally occurring data clusters, modelling patterns in data, comparing data between groups, and reporting the results. Data Science aims at making sense of and generating predictions from data that have been collected in copious quantities from various sources, such as physical sensors, surveys, online forms, access logs, and (pseudo)random number generators, to name a few. They can take diverse forms, e.g., be given as vectors, matrices, or other tensors, graphs/networks, audio/video streams, or text. Data usually do not come in a tidy and tamed form. Data wrangling is the very broad process of appropriately curating raw information chunks and then exploring the underlying data structure so that they become analysable. This course uses the Python language which we shall introduce from scratch. Consequently, we do not require any prior programming experience. We will focus on developing transferable skills: most of what we learn here can be applied (using different syntax but the same kind of reasoning) in other environments. Thus, this is a course on data wrangling (with Python), not a course on Python (with examples in data wrangling).
