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.

The book has such a broad definition of software quality that it would be extremely difficult for anyone to pick up the book and apply the processes listed in the book. This book is not unique. There are several other books that are more detailed.

The authors have done an excellent job to explain what
quality assurance is about, and what the issues are
when testing SW.
I have known Cem Kaner and Hung Nguyen since the time
we were working together in the SW Development group at
PowerUp SW Corp.(later acquired by SoftKey Int’l).
Cem was also one of the reviewers of the book I’ve
co-authored:
“SW Internationalization and Localization: An Introduction”
published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, ISBN: 0-442-01498-8.
