Product Description

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. Brian Peaker - IT Training Magazine --IT Training Magazine

Product Description
Software Testing: An ISEB Foundation provides an introduction to the breadth of software testing activities in real life projects. As well as explaining the basic steps of the testing process and how to perform effective tests, it provides an overview of different techniques, both dynamic and static, and how to apply them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and thorough, 23 Nov 2006

By	UK Tester (UK) - See all my reviews

It's always good to see a text book pitched at exactly the right level. This book is informative, easy to read and well structured. It really makes the user think about testing from many different view points and points out the logical reasons behind structured methodology without telling them how to suck eggs. A variety of real life examples are given throughout and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter. It's been extremely useful in the last two weeks and I haven't even finished it yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help Me Self Study For Exam, 26 April 2007

By	R. Pemberton (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have just passed the exam 1st go by self studying. This was one of the two books that I read to revise. I found the format of the book very good, each chapter starts off with a quick 3 question quiz to see what parts of the chapter you need to read. Then you get to the bulk of the information and finally a few test questions so you can see what parts you need to re-read.

Of the two books I used this was the most easy to read and put complex ideas in an easy to understand what they are trying to teach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect in style and content, 12 Oct 2007

By	Richie G "Richie" (UK) - See all my reviews

After recently starting a new job as a software tester, I had no formal experience of the theory and principles of testing and bought this book to help me pass the ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing exam. Unlike many text books, I found this book was easy to just sit down and read and the example questions at the end of each section/chapter were spot-on for helping me re-cap on what had been learnt in the previous pages.

My employer put me through an intesive 3-day course for the cerficate in which the knowledge I had already learnt was cemented in my head! After each day at home I used the book as a revision guide, topping up knowledge in those areas I wasn't too confident on. I passed the exam with a Distinction (88%) and would recommend this book to anyone thinking of, or currently working towards this qualification.
