Business Analysis, Software Testing, Usability : A Quick Guide Book for Better Project Management and Faster IT Career
There are many books about topics and disciplines in Information Technology. But most books concentrate on a single area. This book is an exception - it looks at three disciplines and ties them together. Excellent idea. Congratulations to Koray for putting this book together, and also for his generosity in donating profits to schools."
-- Dorothy Graham, Best-selling Author
"Koray does a great job of using clever, insightful metaphors to illustrate concepts. He writes in an accessible, easy-to-read style. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did."
-- Rex Black, Best-selling Author
"In his book Koray uses two phrases again and again. The first is "Quality is not tested, but built."The other phrase is ..". should first be handled as a people issue rather than a technology issue." To those in the IT world who need an understanding of these principles, I recommend this book."
-- Lee Copeland, Best-selling Author

Super quick read. Helpful as an overview. Verrrrry textbookish - absolutely no stories, humor, or anecdotes from real experience to help make it more of a pleasure to read. Decent though.

It's a quick guide with many useful cross disciplinary insights. Chapter 14 is a puzzler though. The author sets lit to answer the question "Usability Testing Versus User Acceptance Testing: Are They the Same?" But we really don't get an answer to this question by the end of the chapter.
