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

Organisations increasingly view data as a valuable corporate asset and its effective management can be vital to an organisation’s success. This professional reference guide covers all the key areas including database development, data quality and corporate data modelling. It is not based on a particular proprietary system; it is business focused, providing the knowledge and techniques required to successfully implement the data management function.

This bestselling software testing title is the only official textbook of the ISTQB - ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing.

This 2nd edition covers the 2010 update to the exam syllabus.

It is ideal for those with a little experience of software testing who wish to cement their knowledge with industry-recognised techniques and theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect in style and content 12 Oct 2007
By Richie G
Format:Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help Me Self Study For Exam 26 April 2007
By R. Pemberton
Format:Paperback
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 Simple and thorough 23 Nov 2006
By UK Tester
Format:Paperback
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.
