A Study Guide for the Certified Tester Exam – ISTQB-Foundation Level

This book covers the “Foundations Level” (i.e. entry level), and teaches the most important methods of software testing. It is designed for self-study and provides the necessary knowledge to pass the “Certified Tester – Foundations Level” exam as defined by the ‘International Software Testing Qualifications Board’ (ISQB), including more recent topics, such as test-first approach and risk-based testing.

“This book will provide you with a solid practical foundation for your work and study of testing. Software and system testing suffers from a serious gap between best practices and common practices. If you´re someone who is making a living from doing testing but haven´t gotten around to reading a book, why not start with this one?” (from the foreword to the 1st edition).
