Leading Testing Activities

Leading Testing Activities

[ A Guidebook for New Leaders of Testing ]

About the Book

The person leading a testing activity is often a kind of specialized project manager with a focus on leading testing activities for project delivery. It requires a range of leadership in its own right, but it also requires an up-to-date guide to the world of testing. This book is both about the leadership activities needed and testing activities being done.

This book is your guide to the role of leading testing activities and is especially for those who do not have prior testing experience. It’s similarly an up-to-date guide for existing testing professionals moving into leadership and advancing their careers.
