How Can I Test This?
How Can I Test This?
Examples of how to test different sites and apps, along with the test heuristics applied, the reasoning and tool ideas.
About the Book
If you have ever wondered, what do you mean by that? This is the book for you.
This book puts examples at the forefront.
Instead of test theory being front and centre, with maybe an example or two if you’re lucky, this book makes examples the focus.
We’ll share:
- The scenarios/features/sites that need to be tested (the example)
- Which test heuristics we would apply, why and how
- Any assumptions we would make (which of course should be communicated)
- How we would limit scope and why
- Tools we would utilise (with links to read up on those tools)
It’s like we are right there with you!
But in eBook format.

Testing software is even more important than writing it! The role of the software tester is essential, and this compilation of experts brought together by Nicola Lindgren offers a great resource to those on their software testing journey. This book shares real and practical examples on how to test large systems, websites, mobile apps, and much more. Written in a friendly and accessible manner so software developers and enthusiasts of all skill levels will find something useful!

I’ve given many courses, tutorials and workshops on software testing. I wish I had a resource like this book before, in order to help my students with more practical examples and exercises to make the learning process even more enjoyable and effective. You will enrich your test ideas by reading the mind of other testers in their process of designing test ideas in front of a specific situation. I hope this work encourages more testing professionals to open source their testing.

This book provides a lot of different test ideas and questions that can be asked for ensuring a scenario is properly thought out. I would recommend this book not only for persons looking to get into the software testing field to learn about heuristics but also for those already in the field looking for different considerations on how they can approach and test scenarios. I found myself smiling and nodding in agreement with the approaches taken for testing.

This book is a great resource that's jam packed with examples on how testers approach different types of applications. The authors have been thorough in explaining how they would test a specific feature or application by using heuristics to generate test ideas. They also explained what tools to use to help with their testing and harnessing the power of questions to make sure that the application is testable. If you're looking for new ideas to help with your testing, then this book is perfect!
