This is a really well written summary of QA responsibilities in 2022/23. I would recommend this book to every QA especially junior or regular who wants to know how many technical layers they must uncover if they want to be a senior or lead. Some of the aspects here are explained - hmm - too broadly and too fast but this is just a consequence of creating the book that tries to scratch the surface of a very large topic. Anyway, one of the better books that I have read about QA, that tries to cover what we really do and is not just a silly explanation of ISTQB.

This is one of the best and most complete QA books out there.

As a QA Engineer "Full Stack Testing" is my go to book for all things testing. It's the only book that includes all the types of testing I do at my work. The book has entire chapters dedicated to exploratory testing, automated testing, data testing, performance testing, security testing, accessibility testing, and more.

Not only those it go deep in each of those chapters, it also shows you which are the latest tools for each of those types of testing and how to use them. Also the each chapter ends with exercises made for you to test the type of testing you have just learned.

I myself use a lot if not all of the types of testing outline and examined in this book, and find myself coming back to it over and over for reference.

If you are going to buy 1 book as a QA Engineer make sure it is this one!
