Excellent read for a first time tester or someone who migrated from support into product development. Will be recommending a selection of chapters as must read material for new team members.

Chapters 18 & 20 provide a great overview of the entire development process for a new tester.

Chapters 1-5 address very real culture issues around testing and how to transition into a healthier place.

Chapters 14-18 are the real meat of this book with lots of real examples of projects and interactions between parties. Yes, it’s a bit outdated, but I wish I would have had this book when I started my testing career.

Great introduction to Agile methodology and testing's role. Sometimes it is too dogmatic and sometimes it is a little vague, but mostly it is a great resource. ( )
