TMap is a test method that can be summarised by four essential points: -The client manages the test process on rational and economic grounds: Business Driven Test Management (BDTM). -The comprehensive test process, from test execution through test management, includes ample tips and examples. -TMap contains a complete tool set , i.e. technique descriptions and organisational and infrastructure support. -TMap is an adaptive method that is suitable for test situations in most environments (such as new development, maintenance, waterfall / iterative / agile development, customised or package software, outsourcing). TMap offers the tester and the test manager guidelines to deliver results for the client. Through the years, TMap evolved into a de facto standard for testing information systems. It is currently implemented in hundreds of companies and institutions all over the world. The power of TMap can be largely ascribed to the many experiences from actual practice that it incorporates. This makes the book a valuable tool for current and future challenges in the field of testing.

Excellent, comprehensive approach to software testing,
By
This review is from: TMap Next, for result-driven testing (Hardcover)
If you're looking for an easy-to-understand approach to solving software testing problems, TMap Next delivers what you need. This book documents a practical approach to software testing, built on over 20 years of practical experience working with TMap, the previous iteration of the methodology.
I found this book especially helpful for deciding how to prioritize what was important to test and what was less important, given limited time for testing and people available for testing. The authors have combined their experience into a guide that can help both inexperienced software testing teams set up a useful testing approach, as well as experienced teams who want to understand how to structure a software testing approach that helps determine how best to spend limited time and people when time-for-testing is squeezed on a project (which is nearly 100% of the time). I recommend this book for the approach it describes and the practical lessons included in it.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Times have changed in the testing world,
This review is from: TMap Next, for result-driven testing (Hardcover)
TMap Next is definetely an improvement over the first version of TMap. The first version was mainly concerned with justifying testing as an activity, establishing testing as a separate profession and emphasizing the need for structured testing. Times have changed however, and businesses have started to take testing more seriously than in the 90's when the first version came out. This version therefore takes all the above for granted and takes testing one step further. It is mainly concerned with offering the readers a detailed testing process from planning and preparation to execution and reporting. The testing activities are described in sufficient detail to be usable by practitioners in the field, which sets this book apart from most other test related books. There also seems to be more attention to political factors in testing, for example the testing process now explicitly includes ways for the stakeholders to influence testing. The latter being rather uncommon in the literature as well. I'd recommend reading this to keep up with current developments in the field.
