Review
"Overall, this book deserves full marks for content and value for money." (Computer Bulletin, November 2001)
Product Description
Despite the potentially enormous cost to organizations from clunky Web sites, Web testing is often an overlooked aspect of the development process. Expert tester Diane Stottlemeyer provides developers with all the tools and templates they need to put a testing plan into motion. Focusing exclusively on testing in a Web environment, Stottlemeyer explains how to build and perform full–functionality Web testing, including code enhancement for adding features to existing applications and regression testing. Readers will get complete, step–by–step guidance on preparing, running, and analyzing tests on the Web, including how to test with different languages and databases, and how to test on different platforms and servers, including Linux.

I tried real hard to find something to like about this book. I was disappointed. Testing of web sites and web applications is an area which desperately needs some good books, but unfortunately this is not one of them.
I'm guessing, here, but the author seems to have cobbled this book together from some old course notes, inserted the word "web" here and there and put some obviously obsolete material in the past tense. It baldly assumes a heavyweight and (in my opinion) ill-considered development process, and makes unsubstantiated statements about an unrepresentative selection of software packages.
The supposed subject of the book (automated testing) is mentioned only in passing, between superficial descriptions of project- and risk- management. Virtually no mention is made of the things which make web applications hard to test - browser differences, massive concurrency, stateless protocols, network issues ...
It lacks the depth for a developer or tester, but I can't even recommend this book as a management overview - so much of the content is either dangerously misleading, obsolete, or just plain wrong.

Title Is Deceiving
29 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is a good addition to any manager's library. It goes through the steps it takes to go through a web project. It is a good toolkit since it gives the reader a list of tools for many types of web testing.
It also talks about Business Requirements and types of testing that can be done on web applications.
As a novice tester the book may not answer all your questions but for testers who are looking for quick answers and want to reserach tools this is a must buy.
The CD also offers several templates for the Test Process that I found useful.

Should be named "NOT Automated Web Testing"
16 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
Very misleading title. I bought the book thinking it would discuss tools for automated web testing (gee, I got that idea from the title somehow); but the book is only about basic procedures in general testing. "Testing Computer Software" and "Testing Web Applications" by Cem Kaner, et al. had better information on basic testing procedures AND automated testing. I really wanted the authors to give me my money back since the book is NOT about test automation. And the "load testing for e-confidence" pdf on the CD is available FREE OF CHARGE from Segue's web site.
