Part of any software development is to regularly inform management about the progress and any problems of the project. This book presents various test parameters and metrics that can be used to vividly illustrate the progress of a software test and easily identify any need for action. The key parameters and index values that are essential for successful reporting are explained in detail. Starting with the historical development of test reporting, the author explains the fundamental benefits of metrics and provides an overview of the different types of metrics and how they can be used effectively in software testing. He shows how a particular metric can be individually adapted to the software to be tested, starting with the test specification and test execution through to the development of test coverage, and how this can lead to test automation. With this detailed examination of test reporting, the author provides an optimal basis for evaluation, which not only allows the assessment of which test metric should be used for which purpose or which individual project situation, but also what the particular problems of an individual metric for test reporting may be and how these problems can best be solved. This practical guide is therefore primarily aimed at employees in IT projects, such as project managers, software testers and developers, but business and technology consultants as well as lecturers at colleges and universities will also find an exciting insight into various software testing methods.

Unlock the full potential of your data analysis and financial modeling with "Python in Excel Advanced." This comprehensive guide is designed for finance professionals, data analysts, and anyone looking to elevate their Excel skills by integrating Python's robust capabilities. Written by a senior financial analyst with years of experience, this book provides a seamless blend of Python programming and Excel functionalities to transform the way you work with data. Understanding the symbiotic relationship between Python and Excel is paramount in leveraging the full potential of both tools. Excel, a stalwart of data manipulation, visualization, and analysis, is ubiquitous in business environments. Python, on the other hand, brings unparalleled versatility and efficiency to data handling tasks. Integrating these two can significantly enhance your data processing capabilities, streamline workflows, and open up new possibilities for advanced analytics. Excel is renowned for its user-friendly interface and powerful built-in functionalities. However, it has limitations when dealing with large datasets, performing complex calculations, or automating repetitive tasks. Python complements Excel by offering extensive libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib, which are designed for data manipulation, numerical computations, and visualization. This integration can mitigate Excel's limitations, providing a robust platform for comprehensive data analysis.

What exactly is Machine Learning (ML)? How is it related to Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Why is Deep Learning (DL) so popular these days? This book explains how traditional rule-based AI and ML work and how they can be implemented in everyday games such as Last Coin Standing, Tic Tac Toe, or Connect Four. Game rules in these three games are easy to implement. As a result, readers will learn rule-based AI, Deep Reinforcement Learning, and more importantly, how to combine the two to create powerful game strategies (the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts) without getting bogged down in complicated game rules. This book is divided into four parts. Part I provides an introduction to the three games and outlines how to develop strategies using rule-based AI techniques like MiniMax and MCTS. Part II delves into Deep Learning and its application to the three games. Part III explores the fundamentals of reinforcement learning and demonstrates how to enhance game strategies through self-play Deep Reinforcement Learning. Finally, in Part IV, we integrate rule-based AI with deep reinforcement learning to construct AlphaGo (and its successor, AlphaGo Zero) algorithms for the three games. In this section, you’ll first install Anaconda on your computer so that you can run Python programs in this book. You’ll then set up a virtual environment so you’ll have correct versions of various Python libraries for projects in this book. You’ll use Jupyter Notebook as your integrated development environment (IDE). This book assumes you have a working knowledge of the Python programming language. Written with clarity from the ground up, this book appeals to both general readers and industry professionals who seek to learn about rule-based AI and Deep Reinforcement Learning, as well as students and educators in Computer Science and programming courses.
