Table Of Contents of the book "Software Testing: A Craftsman's Approach", Third Edition by Paul Jorgensen, 2008
Software Testing—A Craftsman’s Approach, Third Edition extends the combination of theory and practicality of the first two editions to include agile programming development and discusses the serious effect this emerging area is having on software testing.
Review:This book is extremely technical and deals strictly with software testing techniques. All techniques are divided in four types (functional, structural, integration and system, and object-oriented testing) and presented with serious and a little formal approach. It is requires some effort to get through this book. First you will need to read mathematics basics that presented in the beginning of the book and used in the description of the different testing techniques. In the same time many colleges use this book as a text book in their classes and it can be useful for the ISTQB Advanced Level certification. If you need to define a software testing process this book is not for you.
