"Jeff Levinson has written a remarkable book. Remarkable because it distills a massive amount of information into a clear, readable book that will teach you how to best use the Visual Studio 2010 Testing Tools. Remarkable because it shows not just how to use the strengths of the tools, but also how to work around any of their weaknesses. Remarkable because Jeff walks you through the implementation strategies that can bring real business value, not just to the testing team, but also to test the entire organization. If you are implementing the test tools, this book belongs on your desk. My dog-eared and marked-up copy sits on mine." Steven Borg, Owner, Northwest Cadence "Testingand testersdon't get enough respect. By providing a great mix of the what, why, and how of testing with Visual Studio 2010, this book will help change that. More important, it will help make the software we use better." David Chappell, Principal, Chappell & Associates "Jeff has once again written a great book, filled with nice nuggets of testing wisdom. A great addition to your testing and ALM library for anyone using Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010." Mickey Gousset, Microsoft ALM MVP and Senior Technical Developer, Infront Consulting Group "Jeff's book is by far the most in-depth investigation of the Test features in Visual Studio ALM I have seen. His insight and experience help the readers understand the impact of poor testing and how they can improve the quality of their software. I particularly liked the obvious real-world understanding of the realities of software testing when applied in practice and the effort by the author to show the readers the ways around those realities." Martin Hinshelwood, Visual Studio ALM MVP and Visual Studio ALM Ranger "Software Testing defines much more than the usage of a testing tool; it shows the practical way in which we test at Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, this book provides the definitive process to using Microsoft Test Manager with the rigor that we test here at Microsoft." Randy Miller, ALM Architect, Microsoft "Jeff provides the rare combination of deep, insider knowledge of Microsoft's 2010 testing tools coupled with pragmatic details about how to plan, manage, and execute testing in the real world." Mark Mydland, Director of Test, Visual Studio Ultimate, Microsoft "With Jeff's extensive knowledge with Microsoft's ALM offering, this book will get you started on the right track with all the new testing capabilities offered by the Visual Studio 2010 suite. Whether you are a new or veteran tester, the personal insights the author brings to the testing topic are very interesting and useful&."
