Alex Porter

Aurelia was like any normal 18 year old. She was blessed with a loving mum, a doting step-father and a perfect boyfriend. The summer before university should have been a joyous time. Yet this idyllic life was irrevocably marred by the past. A past she could not hide from, however hard she had tried. Aurelia's battle had, in truth, been underway since she was a little girl. Now, it was coming to an end...one way or another.

Three very different stories of love ~ 'After The Storm' depicts an emotional journey from heartbreak to true love ~ 'Breathe' highlights one man's struggle to overturn the status quo in his love life ~ 'The Community' is an often brutal tale of love's ability to prevail even in the most difficult of situations.

Accelerated Testing and Validation Methods is a cross-disciplinary guide that describes testing and validation tools and techniques throughout the product development process. Alex Porter not only focuses on what information is needed but also on what tools can produce the information in a timely manner. From the information provided, engineers and managers can determine what data is needed from a test and validation program and then how to select the best, most effective methods for obtaining the data. This book integrates testing and validation methods with a business perspective so readers can understand when, where, and how such methods can be economically justified. Testing and validation is about generating key information at the correct time so that sound business and engineering decisions can be made. Rather than simply describing various testing and validation techniques, the author offers readers guidance on how to select the best tools for a particular need, explains the appropriateness of different techniques to various situations and shows how to deploy them to ensure the desired information is accurately gathered.
