Review
Aimed at the working test manager or test engineer, the second edition of William Perry’s Effective Methods for Software Testingis one of the most rigorous guides to software testing available. Thisbook provides the latest in standards for measuring how good yourorganization’s commitment to software testing is and many ways toimprove it. In all, with its numerous lists and practical step-by-stepguide to testing, this book points the way toward more economical andeffective software testing.
This book’s major strength is its meticulous 11-step guide to allaspects of today’s software testing process–from initial analysis andtest planning to testing software installation and looking at ways toimprove the testing cycle the next time around. The book is filled withto-do lists that enumerate the resources and tasks required for eachstep with helpful hints for what to do, how to work with management,and how to staff and execute a test plan from start to finish. (Thereis a chapter devoted to each of the 11 steps.) The text alsoincorporates the latest in testing standards from the Quality AssuranceInstitute (QAI), and the author does a good job of integrating testingwith today’s iterative software methodologies. Another standout here isa look at software tools and how they can simplify the testing process.
Of course, few software shops will be as rigorous in real life withthe testing process outlined in this book, but there’s little doubtthat this exhaustive guide sets a high standard that test engineers canaim for. Written in a somewhat formal–yet clear–style, this book cancertainly benefit any software testing engineer or manager. –Richard Dragan
