Understanding about Contract Testing

Yesterday Morning (9th May 2020), I had good discussion with  Sundaresan  Krishnaswami on " Contract Testing ". I thank  Sundaresan   for his time and sharing his knowledge. It started with an example: The Owner provides the house or Place of Residence to the Tenants. "Rent Agreement" is provided for the house and It contains agreement to use the house.

Book Review: Software Bug Stories Authors: Ajay Balamurugadas and Saranya Easwaran This book should be read by anyone involved in building or testing the software. This book comes in electronic format (PDF/EPUB). This book took couple of hours for me to read and learn from it. I heard about this book from Saranya, when I met her at one of the workshop.  Concept looked simple when I heard about it.
