Lessons Learned in Software Testing

Book description:
Decades of software testing experience condensed into the most important lessons learned.

The world's leading software testing experts lend you their wisdom and years of experience to help you avoid the most common mistakes in testing software. Each lesson is an assertion related to software testing, followed by an explanation or example that shows you the how, when and why of the testing lesson.

The ultimate resource for software testers and developers at every level of expertise, this guidebook features the following:

  • More than 200 lessons gleaned from over 30 years of combined testing experience
  • Tips, tricks and common pitfalls to avoid by simply reading the book rather than finding out the hard way
