Weinberg Tackles Software Testing
with Experiential Learning
About the Book
Everyone has a role to play in software testing --
even people outside a project team. Testers, developers,
managers, customers, and users shape the process and
results of testing, often unwittingly. Rather than continue
to generate stacks of documents and fuel animosity,
testers can cultivate rich opportunities and relationships
by integrating an effective testing mentality into any
process.
Jerry Weinberg, author of The Psychology of Computer
Programming and more than forty nonfiction books,
sets out to disprove destructive notions about testing
and testers in Perfect Software: And Other Illusions
About Testing. Avoiding a dry textbook treatment
of a highly technical pursuit, Weinberg provides clear
problem-solving advice in plain language, suitable for
managers, customers, and users as well as developers
and testers. Real-world software and management conflicts
play out and instruct through short stories and retrospective
Common Mistakes sections.
We test because people are not perfect, and simply
testing "more" does not guarantee better quality.
This book guides test strategy development that's scalable
for any project.
