Advanced Software Testing - Vol. 1, 2nd Edition: Guide to the ISTQB Advanced Certification as an Advanced Test Analyst 2nd Edition, Kindle Edition

A good, thorough book for its specific purpose.

There is so much incorrect information out there by so called Software Testing experts. This is a must book for all those who really want to learn the correct terminologies or are preparing for certification.

For me the book only served as a crosscheck for the syllabus and a course I've bought on Udemy. Some of the chapters are no longer relevant, but the ones which stayed are very well written and explained in a feasible human language with a sprinkle of humour which made the material graspable in one go.Other than that, the sample questions do not represent what is in the actual exam (the real questions are way harder), but they're an alright reference to check whether you know the very basics. The HELLOCARMS example is a bit of a slog, I recommend skipping it.This really needs an update, a 3rd edition to match the v3.1 of the ISTQB syllabus. But if you're serious about the exam, I still recommend the book to at least go over chapters 1, 2, 3 and some other (forgot which one, it has user story/requirement reviews), as that extra bit of understanding might tip the scales between passing and failing.

using it to study for an exam.. great material for studying

The book helps if you actually put effort to figure out and analyze examples.

Good book. This book prepares very well the reader to the CTAL-TA certification. This book contais all the topics of the CTAL-TA syllabus. If you read it, you will be able to be approved in the test. It just is not five stars because the examples could be better.

Fantastic book! Did enhance and broaden my knowledge and understanding.

Best book by Rex black for istqb preparation.

This book was really helpful for my ISTQB advanced test analyst exam prep.

The information in the book is very well structured.

Excellent book
