Effective software testing : 50 specific ways to improve your testing
Elfriede Dustin · International Linear Collider · 2002
Judging by the title, you might expect to discover between the covers a lot of tips and techniques to really help you and your team get better at testing. Unfortunately, if you have more than a little experience as a tester, you will find little here that is new to you. Conversely, if you are relatively new to testing, many techniques in Dustin’s list of fifty might be new to you, but for the most part, you won’t get enough detail to really learn them. For me, reading this book was about as helpful as reading the menu at my favorite take-out restaurant: I’ve seen all the choices before, and Dustin did not have much new to say about them.
