Totally lacking proofreading throughout, which makes it harder to read. In addition, the author makes some questionable assumptions (if you just follow the testing documents, you can guarantee 100% testing). Some of the interview-type Q&A sections were good, but overall, not the best quality publication on quality topics!

Good for learning the basics of software testing.

Quick read on basics of software testing with links to online resources. Covers software and testing life cycle, back end testing using SQL, and more.
