Description
There are many books around covering functional testing techniques, but
relatively few cover both functional and technical testing. This book will fill that
gap. Authors Graham Bath and Judy McKay are core members of the ISTQB
Working Party that created the new advanced level syllabus, which will be rolled
out worldwide in 2008.
The Software Test Engineer's Handbook brings both functional and technical aspects of testing into a coherent whole, which will benefit not only test analyst/engineers, but also test managers. Based on the "Certified Tester" Advanced Level syllabus issued by the ISTQB in 2007, this book covers everything you need to know to successfully sit the
examinations for Test Analyst and Technical Test Analyst.
For those planning to take one or both of these exams, this book provides a solid
base for preparation and clearly indicates which sections apply to which specific
examination.
Although the content is primarily aligned to the ISTQB Advanced Level syllabus, we have taken efforts to ensure that any professional tester will benefit from reading this book. We have, therefore, supplemented the content with additional information and real-world examples and experiences.
Judy McKay has spent the last 20 years working in the high tech industry with a particular focus on software quality assurance. Graham Bath's experience in testing spans over 25 years and has covered a wide array of domains and technologies.
