There are many great books about test automation, and particularly about best practices of Test Automation. However, there’s no one size fits all. As I once heard someone saying: “‘Best Practices’ is always contextual: even something as common as breathing may be catastrophic if the context is free diving…”

Here’s a comprehensive, up-to-date and practical introduction to software test design. This invaluable book presents all the important test design techniques in a single place and in a consistent, and easy-to-digest format.

In Exploratory Software Testing, renowned software testing expert James Whittaker reveals the real causes of today’s most serious, well-hidden software bugs and introduces powerful new “exploratory” techniques for finding and correcting them.

I’ve tried to write this book with beginners in mind, but if you’re new to program‐ ming, I’m assuming that you’ve already learned the basics of Python. So if you haven’t already, do run through a Python beginner’s tutorial or get an introductory book like Dive Into Python or Learn Python the Hard Way, or, just for fun, Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python, all of which are excellent introductions.

Many of you have probably heard about tests, but still do not understand why you should write code that tests other code, and why you should spend time on it.

I have been using Python for more than 10 years for a variety of stuff. Initially, I used it for GUI applications. Then I quickly moved to the scientific usage as my academic projects demanded it.

This book is written for anyone who has an interest in unit testing but doesn't necessarily know where to start in integrating it with their project.

I was first exposed to Test-Driven Development at the first Extreme Programming Immersion1 in 1999. At the time, I was working on a team creating an embedded communications system. We had just begun extracting use cases from the project’s requirements document when I took a week away from the client to attend Immersion. It changed my professional life. I had discovered Test-Driven Development (among other things).

One of the biggest failed projects I worked on had unit tests. Or so I thought. I was leading a group of programmers creating a billing application, and we were doing it in a fully test-driven manner—writing the test, then writing the code, seeing the test fail, making the test pass, refactoring, and starting all over again.
