So much that I had to learn the hard way is presented here. The evolution of the tester’s mind is here in the 5 phases of a Tester’s Mental Life. Over the years, all the hard lessons that I’ve learned and tried to represent as simple axioms are here, and they are presented simply. The introduction alone is worth the price of admission. So any UK testers that haven’t read this yet - start up your browser and shop, badger your UK booksellers to stock it, and encourage all the testers you meet to read it. I never saw it on any UK bookshop shelf, I have subsequently learned that it is available on US bookshop shelves and I did eventually track down a copy over the internet. It took me a long time, after starting a career as a tester to finally get around to reading this book. The book suddenly becomes so much more valuable. Now I want to test as well as I possibly can. The book might help me test but I wanted to pass the exams.Īnd now I want to test. I obviously forgot as much of this book as possible and returned to the far simpler testing that was being taught on the course. This book made testing seem like a technical discipline with a lot of very strong techniques.
I remember reading this book early in my University career and being particularly struck by the discrepancy between what I was being taught about testing on the course and what was being presented to me by this book. States, State Graphs, and Transition Testing.Paths, Path Products and Regular Expressions.
