applying these concepts (automation of: Unit testing/ Integration testing/ System testing) is challenging and it is worth to apply them

case studies are helpful

Really love this book! The information was very detailed. If you just want to have some basic understanding of Testing practice for a project using Agile software development methodologies then you should read this book. There are also some good examples of how the companies use Scrum in their projects.

I dont recommend that book to any senior engineer. Maybe if I read that book 5-6 years ago I would have other impression, but currently it wouldn't bring anything new in my way of working. The most interesting chapter was the last one with description how companies handle Agile approach.
