✦ Synopsis

I had a chance to read this book thanks to lots of snow here in the Mid-Atlantic region. It is easy to read, with good examples. There were some very useful graphics and charts throughout the book. Chapter 3 on economics was good, but could have been better, and I wish there were more case studies to relate to improvements in process. Overall though it is a very balanced apporach to quality software and defect prevention. So many other publications tend to over stress back end testing, and automated testing tools. I do wish there were a bit more on practical guides to developing testing strategies in differnet SDLC methods, and in balancing requirements and test scripting. The chapter on a quality culture is not very practical and seems not to tie back to the economics chapter as well as I would have hoped. Overall though I thought this was a very useful book and well worth the purchase price.
