Summary: Superior, Informative, Thorough Coverage of Software Testing
Review: ---->This book covers all phases of software testing. In addition,
different methodologies and techniques give the new and experienced tester new approaches to testing. The examples are excellent and any tester will have a quick
starting point for any new testing project. I thoroughly
recommend this book for anyone planning or doing a software

Summary: Outstanding book
Review: I am a CCNA, CCDA, MCSE, MCP, Network+, etc. certified person who is currently persuing a career in Exploratory Testing testing printers at HP. This book was recommended to me by my test lead from Satisfice. It presents very useful information in a refreshing style that allows you to apply it to your testing immediatly. Anyone who wants to improve their thinking process should purchase this book, no matter how little or how much experience you have this book is worth having :) I look forward to reading other books by Cem and crew.

Summary: Good but not politically correct
Review: I am studying to break into the software testing field and this book was recommended to me by a Project Manager at Microsoft. I am absorbing the material pretty well thus far, but I am bothered by the author's constant referral of the programmers as she and her. This makes me wonder if I am trying to break into a female dominated field or something. It stops my chain of thought each time I hit another occurance of it on the page. The material is good though and I am learning a lot from it.

Summary: Okay Survey Book but Caveat Programmer!
Review: I can't help but think of a scene from the movie "Casablanca" when I think of this book. In the scene, Louie, the prefect of police, asks Rick what brought him to Casablanca. "I came for the waters," Rick says. "But there are no waters in Casablanca," says Louie. "I was misinformed," Rick says dryly. I, too, was misinformed about this book. From the reviews that I read, I thought that, even though the book was designed primarily for testers, a programmer could get a lot out of it. This, by and large, isn't true (unless you're a programmer for a software company). There were about four chapters in this book that were worth something and even these were more of a survey of stuff from other books rather than a comprehensive treatment. Unless you're a professional tester, find yourself another book.

Summary: Good text...excellent coverage...bad philosophy...
Review: I first read this text back in the early '90's and believed it to be incredibly incisive and perceptive. It seemed to illuminate problems before they existed for me! I felt I had an 'inside edge' on the other guys. However, as time went on, I began to realize that the text espouses placing my proverbial fingers in the holes of our crackling dam. I now use the book as a starting place on designing logical test cases. However, that is where the book stops. See, in producing software for the government, there are these things known as REQUIREMENTS which must be verified and validated via inspections and a traceability matrix, respectively. I suppose this situation is also prevalent in corporations who wish to sell software to the burgeoning EU, Japan, and Australia. With standards such as ISO 9000.3 and the CMM becoming more and more important, I would like to see Mr. Kaner et. al. attempt to incorporate these standards (which are ensconced in Quality control) into their up coming revision. Who knows? Maybe it is possible to actually perform great testing in both the logical-based and requirements-based arenas?
