It's like a conversation with a good team of testers

I really enjoyed reading the experiences and thoughts about testing. There are so many relations to day to day activities I have with clients in various sectors I work and have worked with. Thanks for sharing.

Quick read, many good tips distilled into one place. I would have appreciated more real-world stories from testers across different industries, but there were a few examples from the author with each chapter.
