An expert in the software testing field, Beizer uses a range of examples testing IRS tax forms and their corresponding off-the-shelf tax preparation packages to demonstrate how a wealth of accepted and proven black box testing techniques can be used to validate the requirements of the forms as they relate to software. All methods are thoroughly introduced and tests are designed, modeled, and debugged for readers. Includes numerous self-evaluation quizzes and tax forms.
I finished up skipping fairly big sections as the material lost relevance for me. I worked in the field of testing for years; some of Boris’s initial statements I disagreed with but then came round to as I could see his point of view. The book has a lot of depth and masses of cross referencing of some deep academic materials, BUT I’m not sure I could rocked up at the place quoting it as a bible.
