5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and clear introduction, November 27, 1997

This review is from: Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach (Hardcover)

There are few good introductions to software testing on the market. This is definitely one of them. The book's presentation of domain testing is particularly clear, better than anything else that I've seen in print. I recommend the book highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Overall Coverage of Software Testing, October 9, 1998

By 

Ralph Worrest ([e-mail]) (Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach (Hardcover)

This book does the best job of bringing the reader up-to-date on software testing practices. For the academics, it has references to the seminal books and articles and so deepen the understanding of a technique. For the practitioners, it gets to the meat very quickly, summarizes benefits and drawbacks, and illustrates use. It is THE text I use with students and coworkers entering this area of software process. Good work, Paul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly readable, excellent reference., June 26, 1999

This review is from: Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach (Hardcover)

This book is so readable, it becomes almost fun to learn about this dry subject. Of all the testing books I've seen, this is my prime reference for all the basic analytic test techniques.

If you want to master the testing craft, it's worth the money to get this book.
