Reviews for Testing Computer Software

I enjoyed reading Testing computer software. The text contains numerous highlights Offering practical advice, authoritative figures you can cite to customers and higher management, and entertaining anecdotes to share with coworkers Although some sections need updating, I still think it is a valuable training and reference source for software testers, managers, and developers. --Diomidis Spinellis; IEEE software magazine (May /June 2001)) Deep insight and a great deal of experience is contained in this book (Database & Network Journal, Vol 30/5 2000)
