Introduction to Google Software Testing
This eBook is an excerpt from James Whittaker’s book entitled:‘How Google Tests Software’.
Here James addresses a question he gets asked more than any other. Regardless of the country he visits or the conference he is attending, this is one question that never fails to surface. Even Nooglers ask it as soon as they emerge from new-employee orientation: “How does Google test software?”
How Google Tests Software contains the core information about what it means to be a Google tester and how we approach the problems of scale, complexity, and mass usage. There is information here you won’t find anywhere else, but if it is not enough to satisfy your craving for how we test, there is more available on the Web. Just Google it!
