Book Reviews of Critical Testing Processes: Plan, Prepare, Perform, Perfect
Book Review: Not a practical book, actually
Summary: 1 Stars
I would not consider this book to be a "practical" book, where someone could find a practical advices, which could be straight used in his/her daily testing activities.
I've noticed this book on test designers' table and looked into it for several particular topics. It is pity, but noone of them contained useful info:
1. Chapter #7; "Setting clear phase criterias" (I read the Russian version book, titles in English version may differ): actually no any CLEAR criteria written, but some well-known measurable criteria critisized as non-practical.
2. Chapter #14; "Choosing defects management tool": 1 page of text without NO any criteria mentioned, on what particular functionality a tool should support for particular tasks.
3 Chapter #3; "Using emperical methods for rough estimation": most of methods are just reference to other books/articles (well, I'm surely will use it to find numerical figures for estimating purposes), all other text is a copy of project management methods applied to testing.
I need to declare, that I did not read the book from beinning to end, which saved pretty of my time, and may conclude that opening a book on 3 topics of particular interest and not finding a bit of usefulness - is enough to not recommend this book for testing professionals.
