Straight forward guide to test management

"Managing the Testing Process" is the book that I used as a guide when I started as a tester years ago. I found that, while it focuses on the bigger picture of test management, many of the tidbits included help me to report what I do to non-testers.

An Excellent book on Testing Process

I am a final year graduate student and I started reading this book as a part of the reading assignment for the course "Systems Testing and Verification". I found this book very valuable for the internship I am doing as a product test engineer. The book is indispesible guide for the beginner and good reference for the professionals. The real world experience of the author makes this book an appropriate guide line for all those...

Management Emphasis

This is the only book on testing that I have found that concentrates on the management tasks associated with the testing process.

Just the guide that IT managers need.
