Software Testing Principles and Practices by Srinivasan Desikan and Gopalaswamy Ramesh serves as a guide to any student or professional in the field of software. The book provides the reader with all information on the popular testing methods of software. It also addresses the common issues faced by people in this field. Apart from theoretical explanation, this book also guides a reader with the practical use of software. I have been working as Software test engineer for more than 4 years and needed a refresher on testing principles. This book should be read by all testers, fresher or professional as it covers a wide array of topics including many methods of testing and even little bit about automation testing. There are very few examples and the topics covered are described in a concise manner. It is useful in covering topics quickly or preparing for an interview and I think this was the intention of the authors. --by Aziz Ansari on May 20, 2014 I was looking for a book where in I can refresh basics of testing though we do have material available for free on internet but I love reading books gives a feeling of serious studies. This is a very good book for freshers as well as professional. --by sonal singh on Nov 12, 2013 Pearson Books has been publishing books under different topics like business, science, technology, law and humanities.
