Logic is the most important branch of math to software engineering. Knowing logic opens up a vast world of development techniques, from everyday tricks of the trade to exotic tools for cracking impossible tasks. This book teaches the basics of logic and nine special logic-powered techniques: property testing, decision tables, constraint solving, and more. Over 50 exercises are provided to help readers master the material. No prior math background required!

A practical handbook packed with real-world advice to help you write better code, adopt effective developer habits, and build great software.

Are you a VP or Head of Engineering considering the best quality engineering model for your company? Are you a director of Engineering tasked with rolling out a Quality Coach Model? Are you a test lead or software tester shifting to a quality coach role? The Quality Coach Handbook is your practical guide to shifting to a model where the whole team owns quality and in particular software engineers design, build, test and support software. Print version: Paperback and hardcover are available on Amazon. Use your country's Amazon site (e.g., Amazon.com.au for Australia) to minimise shipping time and cost.

Get started with Test-Driven Development (write tests before the code), Build Automation (make the overall process of compilation and testing automatic with Maven), and Continuous Integration (commit changes and a server will perform the whole build of your code). Using Java, Eclipse, and their ecosystems.

In today’s fast-paced development world, writing reliable code is crucial. But with countless testing tools available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where the Java Testing Toolbox comes in - a practical, hands-on guide to the 30 most important testing tools and libraries every Java developer should know. Whether you’re new to testing or looking to expand your testing toolkit, this book provides right-sized introductions to each tool, giving you exactly what you need without the fluff.

Struggling with Playwright tests that pass locally but fail in CI?You are not alone.Flaky tests are the #1 reason automation suites fail in real companies. This book is your complete practical guide to debugging and stabilizing Playwright tests used in production environments.This is not a theory book. This is a real-world, hands-on guide focused on the skills companies actually hire for.In this book you will learn:• What flaky tests really are and why they happen • The 5 real causes of unstable automation tests • How to use Playwright UI Mode, Headed Mode and PWDEBUG • How to use Trace Viewer — the most powerful debugging tool in Playwright • How to capture screenshots, videos and logs in CI pipelines • The correct waiting strategies that eliminate timing issues • How to handle network delays, loaders and dynamic UI • How to prevent test data conflicts in parallel execution • How to configure retries, timeouts and stability settings • How to debug failures in GitHub Actions and CI/CD pipelines • How companies detect and fix flaky tests at scale • Real Playwright interview questions and answersIf you are: • A Selenium tester moving to Playwright • A QA engineer struggling with CI failures • A developer writing end-to-end tests • Preparing for Playwright automation interviewsThen this book will give you a strong real-world advantage.Stop guessing why tests fail. Start debugging like a professional.Become the automation engineer every team needs.

Transform the way you test in Agile.Effective Testing in Agile/Scrum reveals how smart QA strategies can drive faster, better software delivery. Learn how to embed testing into every sprint, boost collaboration, and ensure quality without slowing down the team. Perfect for Agile teams aiming to build with confidence.

Let’s make a confession. This handbook is about me, and, I suspect, about you, your team, and your organization too.I’ve made almost every mistake listed in these pages. I’ve seen them repeated in startups, enterprise systems, and everything in between, while mentoring teams, auditing architectures, or helping companies rediscover what testing is really for. The point isn’t to assign blame. It’s to hold up a mirror. Because the truth is, most of these mistakes are so common, you can probably spot a few right now; in your code, your team, or your last retrospective.When we talk about test failures or mistakes, the first thing that usually comes to mind is developers, missed edge cases, flaky tests, broken pipelines.

Bent u een VP of Hoofd Engineering die het beste kwaliteitsengineeringmodel voor uw bedrijf overweegt? Bent u een Engineering Director die de taak heeft gekregen om een Quality Coach-model uit te rollen? Bent u een Test Lead of softwaretester die overstapt naar een rol als Quality Coach? Het Quality Coach Handboek is uw praktische gids voor de overgang naar een model waarbij het hele team verantwoordelijk is voor kwaliteit en waarbij met name Software Engineers de software ontwerpen, bouwen, testen en ondersteunen. Gedrukte versie: Paperback en hardcover zijn beschikbaar op Amazon. Gebruik de Amazon-site van uw land (bijvoorbeeld Amazon.com.au voor Australië) om de verzendtijd en -kosten te minimaliseren.
