Reliable test design is important in software testing; without it, defects in software may remain undetected, making the software poor quality and causing dissatisfaction among users.
This book presents the key test design techniques, in line with ISTQB, and explains when and how to use them, including in combination, with practical, real-life examples. Automated test design methods are also discussed. Tips and exercises are included throughout the book, allowing you to test your knowledge as you progress.

'Finally, a book that makes the test design techniques available to
everybody regardless of their level of experience. It will support
testers wanting to improve the quality of their service or
self-study for their ISTQB Advanced Level Certifications.'

'A must-read for anyone who wants more understanding of test design
techniques and especially using them together...Many test design
techniques take some practice, before one can use them. This book
gives that practice, bringing the dedicated reader to a new skill
level. My personal view as experienced software testing trainer for
twenty years is that one needs really down-to-earth examples when
learning new techniques. This book gives such detail via its
examples and I can recommend it as further reading to any
learner.'
*Testing Trainer and Consultant at Knowit, ISTQB Secretary and
co-author of 'Agile Testing Foundations'*
