TheBook on Testing illustrates how proper software testing can be the difference between life and death. Rodov takes readers through well-known case studies such as the 2019 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft recall as well as hot-button topics like the race to AI implementation, demonstrating how software testing is at the heart of these issues despite it often being overlooked. In the book, Rodov eschews using overly technical jargon, choosing to use language consumers can relate to and imparting lessons readers can take forward in their everyday lives.
“ TheBook on Testing is a personal and informal tour of the landscape of software testing, with a focus on what happens when it isn’t done enough and with the care and expertise it requires,” says Rodov. “This book is, in short, a cautionary tale: a flashing yellow light that precedes a green.”
The world’s reliance on software continues to grow, everything from autonomous vehicles to hybrid work environments are powered by it. Rodov makes the case that while this reliance opens a myriad of possibilities for human advancement, ensuring software runs the way it is supposed to is more important than ever. If software is rushed and tested improperly, the consequences can be dire.
“The lessons and stories in The Book on Testing provide powerful parables for government and private-sector leaders around the world to learn from the mistakes of others while implementing and testing software systems that support public and private-sector policy,” wrote Peter Watkins, Chief Operating Officer, QA Consultants, in the book’s foreword.
The Book on Testing is available in hard cover from Indigo for CAD $45.49 and Amazon.ca for CAD $55.47.
