I read a little today at work in the Book: Exploratory Software Testing by James A. Whittaker. It explains software testing and what tours are. I especially am starting to realize more just how true this statement is:
Software is not, and likely never will be, bug free (p. 11).
Don,
1. As an initial framing of the issues involved with software development, sw testing, and sw quality – I would recommend reading Jerry Weinberg’s “Perfect Software”.
2. If you want to learn more about Exploratory Testing reading about it from James Bach and M. Bolton.
3. If you want to know ET deeply – contact James for a one-on-one session.
FYI – James Whittaker just did a keynote presentation at Star West.
I will have to check out that book. Thanks for the tips!
