5.0 out of 5 stars Gives you a head-start in the software testing process, 5 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This is truly a book you want to read -- if you want to know what makes a software tester tick. Doesn't delve into all the methods and techniques you ought to use, but approaches the art of software testing from a different perspective: how do I get the software testing process on the road and how do I keep it there. I found it informative, even humorous at times to read. Only one comment though: the autors should have addressed the technical part as a challenge: how to get a testing environment up and running in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book for ALL new to TEST MANAGEMENT, 28 Aug 2008
By J. Kidd "worcestersaucejohn" (Worcester, Worcestershire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a Test Manager in high profile financial project I found this book was incredibly useful for me in dealing with the MAN/PEOPLE MANAGEMENT of a Test Team and how to represent its needs and priorities to PROJECT/PROGRAMME Management.

It deals will all areas to be considered to get Senior Management on 'your' side for test teams visibility.

All too often testing is an after thought left to the end of a development project, this book explains how important it is to keep testing in at the 'ground floor' and continually in th elight during the development life cycle.

IT also highlights how to put testing into a positive light and champion its work - not the usual testing is something that is stopping completion by finding irritating bugs (thats a testers job after all!)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR TEST MANAGERS EVERYWHERE

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed. Referrals to the American standards, 21 May 2001
By A Customer
I have purchased numerous books on software testing and this book is currently gathering dust on my shelf. The americans may be streets ahead of us in testing standards however this book refers to the American standards in too much detail for it to be enjoyed.
