From the Publisher
"I really enjoyed the book. If I had written a book on testing, it would have resembled Ed Kit's. His focus on the testing process is excellent." --Greg Daich, Senior Software Engineer, Science Applications International Corporation and member of the Software Technology Support Center (STSC) Test Group
"The book is easy to read and suitable for anyone interested in how to achieve better testing...Software Testing In The Real World should go a long way towards helping many of us make practical and lasting improvements... I encourage you to 'test' it out." --Bill Hetzel, President, Software Quality Engineering (from the Foreword)
"The Ed Kit book will be a good one. It has a nice practical approach, and brings testing up to date with recent developments." --Barry Boehm, Director USC Center for Software Engineering
Software Testing In The Real World provides the reader with a tool-box for effectively improving the software testing process. The book gives the practicing software engineer a menu of techniques with guidance on how to create a strategy for continuous, sustainable improvement within their organization--whatever its size or level of process maturity.
Ed Kit addresses the most frequently asked questions about methodologies, tools, technology and organizational issues being posed in the testing community today. Pragmatic in its approach, the book confronts the problem of the relative immaturity of the software engineering discipline in most organizations with practical guidance on cost and risk, standards, planning testing tasks and testing tools.
Test and Quality Assurance Specialists, Developers and Project Managers alike will benefit from the practical, proven techniques for improving testing as well as the specific "best of breed" software testing tools information.

Customer Reviews
The book is LOADED with practical info, and is NOT just for software testers. It's also a big help to programmers (of all levels), and to "non-software" management personnel (who need to learn the basics of the SV&V process, but don't have time for the "nitty-gritties").
Mr. Kit's book has something for everyone, including great software test & project management checklists, descriptions of common (but subtle) BIG project mistakes to avoid, test planning exercises, and plenty of IEEE Standards & SEI-CMM references to back it all up.
If you really want to break out of the self-destructive "quick-code-hacking/fixing-and-testing-for-next-week's-deadline" cycle, and get into true Software Development & Testing for LONG-TERM Customer Satisfaction & profitability, then start with this book!
