Cybersecurity attacks grow more complex every day. The first edition of Wilson's COMPTIA PENTEST+ GUIDE TO PENETRATION TESTING helps you gain the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze systems in the same way hackers do. It provides the information you need to successfully pass the CompTIA PenTest+ PTO-002 certification exam and contains detailed examples, projects, and hands-on activities (including virtual machine labs and interactive online features) where you can practice using the actual tools and methodologies needed to be a successful penetration tester. The author begins by exploring the concept of penetration testing, and then walks you through the process of building your own penetration testing lab of virtual machines (hosted on your own computer, which is used to practice the use of pen testing tools and methods). A final project guides you in the creation of a penetration testing report that includes all the areas covered in earlier modules.

This extensively classroom-tested text takes an innovative approach to explaining software testing that defines it as the process of applying a few precise, general-purpose criteria to a structure or model of the software. The book incorporates cutting-edge developments, including techniques to test modern types of software such as OO, web applications, and embedded software. This revised second edition significantly expands coverage of the basics, thoroughly discussing test automaton frameworks, and it adds new, improved examples and numerous exercises. The theory of coverage criteria is carefully and cleanly explained to help students understand concepts before delving into practical applications, while extensive use of the JUnit test framework gives students practical experience in a test framework popular in the industry. Exercises, meanwhile, feature specifically tailored tools that allow students to check their own work. The book's website also offers an instructor's manual, Powe
