Critical Testing Processes: Plan, Prepare, Perform, Perfect

by Rex Black

In this book, Rex Black examines the big picture and distills, from his own extensive experience, twelve testing processes that are critical to success. After each process is introduced a case study demonstrates its use in various organizational, operational, and technological contexts. Instead of cumbersome regulations, this book provides checklists - lightweight, flexible tools for implementing process-oriented testing, gathering metrics, and making incremental process changes.

Very nice book. Systematic and clear. A bit outdated in some aspects (especially in chapter about builds - modern CI/CD systems substituted human work and brought more reliability to software development process). I didn't like accents on politics in some palaces, but, unfortunately, we couldn't avoid politics sometimes.
One of the best quotes in the beginning of the book sounds like: "I'd like you to use in your testing processes the main tool: your brain".
