This review is from: Integrated Test Design and Automation: Using the Testframe Method (Paperback)

This exceptionally well written volume on automated testing should be read by EVERY software engineer and project manager, not just the Q&A team. Hans Buwalda, world expert on the TestFrame method, has written an excellent overview which is contemporary and explains the Greek metaphor very clearly. I highly recommend the examples given in the book.
