About the Book
If you have ever wondered, what do you mean by that? This is the book for you.
This book puts examples at the forefront.
Instead of test theory being front and centre, with maybe an example or two if you’re lucky, this book makes examples the focus.
We’ll share:
- The scenarios/features/sites that need to be tested (the example)
- Which test heuristics we would apply, why and how
- Any assumptions we would make (which of course should be communicated)
- How we would limit scope and why
- Tools we would utilise (with links to read up on those tools)
It’s like we are right there with you!
But in eBook format.
