I’d like to introduce free books for learning software testing and QA (Quality Assurance) in waterfall development.
Background: Wanting to Learn About Waterfall Development, Software Testing, and QA
I needed to quickly learn about waterfall development, software testing, and QA, so I read the following two freely available books.
JUAS "User Enterprise Software Metrics = Essential Handbook =" Published: February 2014
While you can read either book first, I recommend starting with this one as it’s only 32 pages, giving you a sense of accomplishment. The methods for calculating quantitative metrics seemed particularly useful when you need to produce numerical indicators.
- JUAS Japan Users Association of Information Systems
- PDF: User Enterprise Software Metrics = Essential Handbook =
IPA "Software Test Estimation Guidebook" Published: September 2008
A personal learning point for me was discovering the W-model in addition to the V-model.
- SEC BOOKS: Software Test Estimation Guidebook | Archive | IPA Information-technology Promotion Agency
- PDF: Software Test Estimation Guidebook
That’s all from the Gemba, where I quickly learned about software testing and QA in waterfall development.
