A Practitioner's Guide to Software Test Design (Artech House Computing Library)

Book is not very detailed but content is good.

Отличная книга!!! Прекрасно подходит к подготовке к экзамену ISTQB Advanced level, Test Analyst. Техники объяснены кратко и предельно понятно. Рекомендую.

This is a fantastic book for anyone in the SW testing field. Topics are presented in a clear and concise manner and is a great reference.

The book was published in 2004 and 10 years later the concepts still apply! The chapters on equivalence class, boundary value, domain analysis testing cannot be really applied to real software testing but the concepts can be combined with pairwise testing to construct good test cases.I think that the gems of this book are pairwise testing and state-transition testing, combining these methods with tools for code coverage and static analysis leads to a systematic way of testing.As a college student, I always find it odd how schools do not place more emphasis on the importance of testing and its techniques. This book does well in introducing more advanced techniques and methodologies. I encourage all developers to get this book.

The first 2/3 of the book (chapters 1-11) are great. A superb overview of many testing techniques helpful to a software tester. A superb "tool collection" for a software tester's tool box.The last 1/3 of the book (chapters 12-16), it seems to lose focus a bit. Concepts started being tainted with business paradigms and tedious coverage of items that could have easily just been referenced only.Overall, though, I do love the book and see it as a valuable resource to keep around. :-)
