As a software architect reviewing a book on software testing, I must clarify that I was the technical reviewer of this book, and my review is based on the draft that I read. Having said that, I'd like to share my honest impressions of this book.The author starts the book with a clear message: "There is no 'one size fits all' solution when it comes to quality." This book is not a panacea for all your testing needs but rather a guide through some of the paths you may encounter in today's testing landscape.Unlike other books that focus on a specific framework, language, or testing type, this book takes a broader perspective and, from an architectural point of view, explores ways to approach complex testing challenges. Although the book cannot cover all the topics in depth, it provides a solid introduction to various concepts, with plenty of code samples that offer pointers to bigger and broader solutions. In fact, I was able to leverage one of the examples to craft a solution to a testing problem I had.This book is a valuable resource for testers and developers of all levels, but its real value lies in the insights it provides to those who take the time to deeply consider what they read. The goal of the book is not just to finish it, but rather to open up new vistas of thought that can help you become a better tester or developer.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their software testing skills, especially those who are looking for a more holistic and strategic approach to testing.

What I love most about this book is that Noemí makes it clear that testing is an activity for anyone and everyone on a software delivery team. This is an incredibly comprehensive and modern guide to testing that should be on every software practitioner's desk (or device, if you get the ebook). You'll be using it for so many things.The book includes many visuals that promote quick understanding of the concepts and techniques. There's so much example code - and a GitHub repo to download it all. I'm especially impressed with the chapter on AI and ML. Whatever you need to learn next to help your team build quality in - it's likely to be in this book. If your team isn't doing continuous integration yet - IMO a must-have for any team to succeed - this book shows you how. Need a deployment pipeline or a monitoring dashboard? Get started with the information here.If the detailed examples and explanations here aren't enough, each chapter ends with an extensive list of further resources. I'm blown away by the breadth and depth of Noemí's knowledge and experience. And so happy she has shared it with us! Don't delay, get your copy today.
