Engineers seem to be speaking a language all their own sometimes. Most books on testing are deep in the weeds with technical terms and techniques that simply aren’t applicable even to technical managers. This book provides a high-level perspective on broad topics in a friendly, easy-to-absorb style. Get started and up to speed quickly with immediately useful, actionable guidance. Guidance on team structure, best practices and even common pitfalls will save you time and money, while automation and code reuse will provide exponential value. There’s a gap of knowledge between engineers and their managers; they are almost speaking different languages and the jargon can be confusing. There’s a lot to know about the world of testing. Test from the Top delivers quick, concise guidance to bridge the gap! It offers clear, actionable steps and is a must have for busy leaders who need quick answers.
