Book Reviews of Managing the Testing Process: Practical Tools and Techniques for Managing Hardware and Software Testing
Book Review: Good book - recommended for everyone who manages testing
Summary: 4 Stars
I very much liked the book. Rex Black has written about the process and management side of testing. This makes it an ideal complement to Cem Kaner's "Testing Computer Software" (which deals with testing technique) and Boris Beizer's "Software Testing Techniques" (which deals with the fundamentals).I found the templates useful, mostly because I never worked my way around Excel to get those metrics in an automated manner. But don't expect them to be replacement for commercial test management tools.
This should be a required reading for anyone who plans or manages testing.
Book Review: Good, but not great
Summary: 2 Stars
As an aspiring tester, I can say that this book is not quite what I was looking for. It didn't give me a big picture of the testing process, nor did it give me any insight into how to use effective methods. On the whole, the better book for your money is "Testing Computer Software" by Kaner, et al. Now that one is a winner. This, just so so.Book Review: Great Book!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
In theory, practice works 100% of the time. In practice, theory do not always works . This book has the "proven testing theory and testing practice"I do recommend it highly!
Book Review: Simply Great!
Summary: 4 Stars
Very clear writing, a great voice offering light and granular guidance, and the CD is helpful to those who might need a "jump-start" to managing their own testing strategy and process.Why not 5 stars: I wished the CD had been more robust, and that a website/extranet for the book could be included in the purchase price.
Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought it! ... Read it! Great compilation of testing procedures.In theory, the practice of all testing procedures works. In practice, not all testing theories work. This book works in theory and practice!
