Synopsis

This best-selling software testing title explains the basic steps of software testing and how to perform effective tests. It provides an overview of different techniques, both dynamic and static. It is the only official textbook of the ISTQB-BCS Certified Tester Foundation Level, with self-assessment exercises, guidance notes on the syllabus topics with sample examination questions. This third edition includes examples and exercises reflecting current technology and applications, such as the use of open source software, component-based and agile development and application building for mobile devices. It is ideal for those with a little experience of software testing who wish to cement their knowledge with industry-recognised techniques and theory.

About this title

About the Author:

The authors are all experienced BCS examination setters and markers and know the ISTQB syllabus in depth. The editor, Brian Hambling, has experienced software development from a developer's, project manager's and quality manager's perspective in a career spanning over 30 years.

Review:

Invaluable for anyone involved in testing and would lift the game of most VV&T staff (including designers doing their 'informal' reviews and tests) and their project managers. It is succinctly and clearly written with no non-sense. An unreserved 5 for value for money. (Review of 1st edition) -- Brian Peaker * IT Training Magazine *
