Lots of Good information-Needs Serious Re/Write

This book hits many topics in the area of software testing. The more simple are given rigorous treatment while more complex, are often named with the implementation of these left to the reader’s imagination.

I think that the book should be re-written with the objective of reducing its length by 33% and increasing the meat by 66%,

Great high-level overview before jumping into lower-level texts.

Good content, heavy narrative

The content is suitable for understanding the basics of testing and has really good points, sometimes is too much narrative to get to the chase
