Many thanks for author for such a great well-structured testing book 🙏 I definitely will recommend it to all junior and mid testers.
Many topics related to testing are covered with practical examples, not just theory - it is a big advatage in a testing book. As well it is a good source what mindset should every tester have. I believe, that soft skills are very important in daily tester's work.

Super practical and filled with great advice for every tester. Does not advocate dogmas or fancy standards. Kristin goes to the point and is not one of those authors that only seem to want to peddle their special systems or sell their consulting services. I recommend this book to every rookie in my company.
