How to Become a Software Tester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent overview of how to do professional software Quality Assurance. The text is very detailed with many examples and exercises covering both the philosophy and specific tactics of testing. There's even a section on how to find a job in the industry that's, despite my general distaste for most "how to land a job" advice, is actually quite charming and effective. I've hired many QA engineers, and can vouch for the effectiveness of much of the material here.
Mr. Savenkov's writing style is enthusiastic and direct, though not very polished. The production values of the book are similarly basic, and some more attention to fonts, layout and general editing would have improved the overall experience. It's obvious that the vast majority of the effort went into the 400 pages of content, which is exactly as it should be in a book about this subject matter. Most of the material here will remain relevant for a very long time.
If you don't have the patience to work through this kind of book, then QA probably isn't the right field for you. However, if you're serious about becoming a software tester, I can't think of a better way to start.

How to Become a Software Tester promises to train a new generation of software testers and help them find high-paying tech jobs in a challenging economy. The self-study practical course, authored by former PayPal QA Architect Roman Savenkov, includes a textbook guide that walks students through the concepts with useful advice, and a series of online exercises that ensure they learn how to work out real-world problems.
To become a solid tester requires a lot of hands-on experience, explains Savenkov. You cannot get that by reading without practicing. This course was created to give everyone an opportunity to gain that experience, without paying the thousands of dollars usually spent for a comparable education in testing.
The approach is targeted towards the practical aspects of testing, using everyday situations and real-life situations to illustrate the examples. There is no excessive theory, but rather copious practice exercises through a dedicated online website.
The course is built upon the educational and professional experience Savenkov gained at one of the world s leading software companies, PayPal, where his testing approaches have already been successfully implemented. That is important, as a tester s mistake at a money-transferring service like PayPal could cause millions of dollars in damages.
Students progress at their own pace, and even beginners can gain the skills needed to perform software testing and quality assurance in just weeks.
Ultimately, it s all about getting a job that can change your life, adds Savenkov. People don t pass software tester interviews by saying "I read about it" but by saying "I did it" and "I can demonstrate exactly how."
