Books like Agile testing by Watkins, John

This book provides a strategic approach to software construction, offering essential techniques and must-know principles for creating high-quality code.

Automated testing is key to agile development, but creating effective tests can be challenging for many developers.

Gain the foundation in Scrum theory—and practice—you need to rein in even the most complex, unwieldy projects, effectively manage unknown or changing product requirements, simplify the chain of command with self-managing development teams, receive clearer specifications—and feedback—from customers, greatly reduce project planning time and required tools, build—and release—products in 30-day cycles so clients get deliverables earlier, avoid missteps by regularly inspecting, reporting on, and fine-tuning projects, support multiple teams working on a large-scale project from many geographic locations, maximize return on investment!

A practical guide offering code samples and hands‑on techniques for identifying, classifying, and evaluating security bugs in software before release.

The one resource needed to create reliable software This text offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to software quality engineering. By following the author's clear guidance, readers learn how to master the techniques to produce high-quality, reliable software, regardless of the software system's level of complexity. The first part of the publication introduces major topics in software quality engineering and presents quality planning as an integral part of the process. Providing readers with a solid foundation in key concepts and practices, the book moves on to offer in-depth coverage of software testing as a primary means to ensure software quality; alternatives for quality assurance, including defect prevention, process improvement, inspection, formal verification, fault tolerance, safety assurance, and damage control; and measurement and analysis to close the feedback loop for quality assessment and quantifiable improvement. The text's approach and style evolved from the author's hands-on experience in the classroom. All the pedagogical tools needed to facilitate quick learning are provided: Figures and tables that clarify concepts and provide quick topic summaries Examples that illustrate how theory is applied in real-world situations Comprehensive bibliography that leads to in-depth discussion of specialized topics Problem sets at the end of each chapter that test readers' knowledge This is a superior textbook for software engineering, computer science, information systems, and electrical engineering students, and a dependable reference for software and computer professionals and engineers.
