5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive with concrete examples. Best testing book I have ever read!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is the best test management book that I have ever read. The author provides concrete examples and illustrations where appropirate so that the reader can actually learn, not just be awed by how smart he is. I especially appreciated the scope - the book covers the test process from beginning to end and includes helpful and practical advice on stuff that is frequently omitted from testing books like the politics of testing.
