Testing in Scrum: A Guide for Software Quality Assurance in the Agile World (Rocky Nook Computing) [Linz, Tilo] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Testing in Scrum: A Guide for Software Quality Assurance in the Agile World (Rocky Nook Computing) Review: This book does a good job of sharing more of his knowledge on the ... - I worked with Tilo Linz in my capacity as the Chair of the ISTQB Foundation Extension Agile Tester Working Group. He clearly knows a lot about this topic, some of which he shared in the portion of the Agile Foundation Extension syllabus that he co-wrote. This book does a good job of sharing more of his knowledge on the topic. I particularly like the use of a running case study, the eHome project, to illustrate concepts. The thorough coverage of unit and integration testing is excellent, particularly the detailed discussion of integration testing, a test level which is often under-utilized. Concise but complete code samples with ample explanation make these concepts very clear, unlike the enigmatic and free-floating code samples found in some books. This book would be a good complement to Cripsin and Gregory's book on agile testing. It fills a lot of the gaps that exist in that book in terms of technical and managerial details. My only quibble about this book--and this is why I gave it a 4 not a 5--is that the rear cover contains a claim that it is a prep book for the Agile Foundation Extension exam. I did read it as part of preparing for that exam. (Yes, even us authors of the syllabus have to take the ISTQB exams.) It covers a lot of topics that aren't in the syllabus and thus aren't on that exam, which is fine: more information is always good. However, it doesn't adequately cover some topics that are on the syllabus and thus the exam, such as the testing pyramid, the testing quadrants, and Acceptance Test Driven Development. This book would be a useful complement to a two-day training course as part of preparing for the exam and learning the important topics of agile testing, but as a stand-alone resource for exam preparation it isn't enough. Beyond that nit, a good book. If you don't care about the ISTQB Agile Foundation Extension exam, or if you plan to prepare for the exam using other resources, this is certainly worth reading.
