Recommended book for software test engineers. Since the author also discusses political aspects of testing in today's real business world, where the CFO rather than the CEO rules, this is an interesting book for other test engineers, too.
One of the main topics of the book are what the author calls MITs, the "most important tests". The MITs are determined using various methods, including path analysis, boundary value analysis, expert interviews, and test ranking.
While there are nice explanations of the other methods, my first impression was that the author's explanation of her ranking method was lacking technical details. Actually, that ranking method is rather simple. Use of consistent terminology and some detracting errors in examples just make it more difficult than necessary for the reader to understand.
