Learning Software Testing with Test Studio

A lot of times I asked myself “Why I do not use test recording this time?”, is this sounds familiar for you?

All the time I asked myself this question, all the time the answer was “I am professional, I must code my automated test cases!”. And one day I was asked to review a book. Really nice book by the way and it’s brand new! It is called “Learning Software Testing with Test Studio”. I had some experience with the tool so I accept the offer.

It was real fun when I read the paragraph which says something like “…click this button and Test Studio IDE will do this for you….” and my internal voice was “I don’t trust this guy, I am QA and I never trust anybody”.  Then I try it, and this tool really did this for me. And did it much faster than I can.

“Learning Software Testing with Test Studio” is really helpful book. You know the books which describe you solution but nothing mention about the problem. This book is problem driven and explain the solutions in details and also something which I liked really much is that each chapter present a situation (from the real world) and after that explains the problem followed by the solution.

I found really interesting the chapter related to Mobile Testing which cover the problems from deployment of application under test to generating test report.  Some of the chapters illustrate how to use testing techniques like decision tables and state transition diagrams using Test Studio IDE which is very cool because to know the particular technique is valuable, but to know how to apply it is priceless.

You definitely have to find a way to read this book because it demonstrate best practices in functional automation and manual testing as well as performance testing and it can become your favorite book which have answer for most of the questions you asked yourself every day.

This book contains examples with Test Studio IDE as well as theoretical information which I found very useful and up to date.
