Qa Testing Not Only for Professionals

1.    From the Author

First of all, I would like to thank you, dear reader, for your choice.

Secondly, I hope that this book will be helpful to understand the Quality Assurance Testing field better and show how great it is.

Furthermore, I really hope that you are on the right way to the new career opportunities. This is a great moment to open the new doors in your life and success to your family.

Today, to be a professional QA Tester is not only to receive the high salaries, but also to start being the part of the great society, calling Hi-Tech community.

Why was it decided to write this book?

Firstly, in order to share QA knowledge (more than 15 years’ experience) to others.

Secondly, the information provided in this book will be interesting not only for beginners in Quality Assurance field, but also for professionals. The content of this book is introduced in different form from the accepted standards.  If you were taken some professional QA courses, such as ISTQB, you would probably know that the studied program includes the relevant (sometime not clear) information regarding the processes and it structure. Sometimes It’s not easy for professionals and definitely not for the beginners without any or 2-3 years’ experience in the industry.

I hope that this book will be a good and useful tool to your QA professionalism.
