Reliable test design is crucial in software testing, as it helps prevent undetected defects, making Practical Test Design an essential read for anyone looking to improve their testing skills.
'A masterful tour through the most important behavioural test design techniques.' -- Rex Black * President, RBCS, Inc.; Past President ASTQB and ISTQB *
'This is the testing book I've been waiting for.' -- Elaine Weyuker * University Distinguished Professor; Member, US National Academy of Engineering; ACM Fellow; IEEE Fellow *
'Finally, a book that makes the test design techniques available to everybody regardless of their level of experience. It will support testers wanting to improve the quality of their service or self-study for their ISTQB Advanced Level Certifications.' -- Francisca Cano Ortiz * Head of Software Quality Assurance, The Stars Group. *
'A must-read for anyone who wants more understanding of test design techniques and especially using them together...Many test design techniques take some practice, before one can use them. This book gives that practice, bringing the dedicated reader to a new skill level. My personal view as experienced software testing trainer for twenty years is that one needs really down-to-earth examples when learning new techniques. This book gives such detail via its examples and I can recommend it as further reading to any learner.' -- Kari Kakkonen * Testing Trainer and Consultant at Knowit, ISTQB Secretary and co-author of 'Agile Testing Foundations' *
