5.0 out of 5 stars The *only* book on game testing, October 28, 2009
This review is from: Game Development Essentials: Game QA & Testing (Paperback)
I get a lot of game books sent to me for review; I let Game QA&Testing get lost in the stack, assuming it would be some "idiot's guide" for people who want to get into the industry but don't really have a shot... I was completely wrong. Game QA & Testing is an excellent book for anyone seriously considering QA as a career. It explains the advantages and hurdles as well as brings a level of professionalism to the profession which is often lacking in the industry.

This is a book that I would not only recommend for every QA person and QA hopeful but also for producers and designers who want a better understanding of how QA should work.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Game Development Essentials: Game QA & Testing (Paperback)
As with all the Game Development Essentials I found this book to have plenty of information on Video Game QA & Testing as well as giving you a heads up on how to get in to the industry as a whole. I found this incredibly helpful and I've read it from cover to cover a few times in the last few weeks.
