Sort order. Start your review of Testing Computer Software. Sep 01, Kimball rated it liked it. I didn't read this cover-to-cover. It's a rather good book, but aspects of it are now a little dated, and I found other resources more useful overall. Most especially, I found Cem Kaner's free online testing class much more informative and useful. Mostly, I felt like there was a large part of this book that didn't feel terribly applicable to my testing problems, even if it is useful to help examine different ways of looking at tests and test ideas.
It's just that better work has been done since. Should a serious tester buy this book and be familiar with it? Yes, eventually. Is it the most useful book out there? Should it be the first book a tester reads? Apr 10, Kate B rated it really liked it. While the examples are out of date, testing methodology doesn't really change if you're testing dot matrix printers or iPhone apps. This is a standard QA reference book for a reason. Oct 09, Nathaniel Turner rated it liked it. I'll start off with a little honesty: I didn't read the last three and a half chapters of this book.
In part, this was because the library wanted the book back. More than that, it's because those chapters are really, really long. The information in this book is extremely useful for anyone in the software testing business.
There are basic principles which pervade eras and technology, and this book addresses those effectively and thoroughly. Unfortunately, there is also the minor issue of technologi I'll start off with a little honesty: I didn't read the last three and a half chapters of this book. Unfortunately, there is also the minor issue of technological advancement. Most of this book is geared toward testing in a DOS environment.
There is wide discussion of issues that have largely been codified and simplified in recent decades, such as operating system interactions and printers.
Sure, there are still many potential hiccups in those areas, but not so many as this book suggests--if only because of the drastic changes in the atmosphere of software that inevitably take place over the years. Having said that, if you're old enough to remember that DOS used to be a thing, even those parts of this book won't be a dull read for aspiring testers. Pay special attention to discussion of designing test plans and cases, because that comes in handy regardless of what you're testing.
Typographical errors in this book are relatively few and far between, and they're minor enough that you have to laud the copy-editors who likely have no background and even less enjoyment in software testing for doing as well as they did. Dec 10, Oxana Udodova rated it liked it. Jan 12, Dan Stewart rated it it was amazing. I read this book because it came highly recommended by many other testers in the industry.
I thought it would not be relevant for Web and mobile testing, but the principles are timeless. I really liked the humor and the matter-of-fact tone in the book. It kept me engaged.

This book is great giving you a rundown on what to expect in the testing process and how to go about thinking of test cases. However, I was really hoping this book would actually have shown more code, both in the sense of the testing code, and the code that's being tested. Jun 02, Adib rated it it was amazing. I will recommend this book for fresher. This book organized in such a way so that fresher or newbie testers can learn about testing theory , philosophy and can also get practical experience on Software Testing.
May 23, Chris rated it it was amazing. Excellent book on the methods, advantages and hazards of software testing. I have seen objections that this book is dated, but it certainly covers the basics.
