In this book, Rex Black examines the big picture and distills, from his own extensive experience, twelve testing processes that are critical to success. After each process is introduced a case study demonstrates its use in various organizational, operational, and technological contexts. Instead of cumbersome regulations, this book provides checklists - lightweight, flexible tools for implementing process-oriented testing, gathering metrics, and making incremental process changes.
Very nice book. Systematic and clear. A bit outdated in some aspects (especially in chapter about builds - modern CI/CD systems substituted human work and brought more reliability to software development process). I didn't like accents on politics in some palaces, but, unfortunately, we couldn't avoid politics sometimes. One of the best quotes in the beginning of the book sounds like: "I'd like you to use in your testing processes the main tool: your brain".
