Advanced Software Testing - Vol. 3, 2nd Edition: Guide to the ISTQB Advanced Certification as an Advanced Technical Test Analyst

Great book

Great for ISTQB exam preparation.

To update my knowledge

I bought the 2nd edition (on paper) to prepare for the Advanced Test Analyst examination.I would give it 4 stars, but there are some formatting problems that, ironically, nobody checked for before printing.For example on page 59, discussing Multiple Condition Coverage for an "A and B" condition"we can calculate the number of tests needed (22)"Sure the number of tests must be 4. How did they come up with 22? Either the "to power of" operator is not printed, or the superscript was not properly formatted.It should have been 2^2On the previous page there is another occurrence of the same problem.And another one again on page 59, near the bottom"Since there are five atomic conditions, we would expect to see 25, or 32, unique rows on the table"Obviously it was meant "2^5, or 32, unique rows". I find it sad that a book on testing did not get enough proofreading.And who came up with the idea of printing the ISTQB glossary entries in black on a dark grey background? Sans serif, to top it off.Content wise, the book is not bad. My problem is that now I don't know whether to trust the book with regards to the ISTQB content. Surely if the "25 or 32" mistake slipped by, content mistakes might lurk there.

Nice to have for Software QA /Testers seeking more knowledge

Ho studiato da questo libro per la preparazione all'esame ISTQB TTA. Il syllabus non è sufficiente alla preparazione ed il libro è stato fondamentale per il superamento al primo tentativo.Alcuni aspetti sono trattati in modo approfondito rispetto a quanto richiesto per l'esame. I dettagli, dati dall'esperienza degli rinomati autori, è fondamentale per poter apprendere bene alcuni concetti.
