From the Back Cover
that a 5th grader wouldn't have turned in. Virtually every technical
product these days includes a lot of software. It's a rare engineer that
can write nearly perfect code. Methodical and thorough testing of software
is the key to quality products that do what the user expects. Read this
book to learn what you need to do!"
Steve Wozniak, Wheels of Zeus, CTO
"In theory, test automation is supposed to be a silver bullet to
increase test coverage and improve quality; offshoring is supposed to
drastically cut costs. In reality, many organizations struggle with both,
and don't see significant gains despite extensive efforts. This book
clearly presents the challenges of test automation and a practical way for
organizations of any size to overcome them to realize significant time and
cost savings in their software testing effort. Every executive responsible
for development and testing of software should become familiar with these
ideas!"
Bruce Martin, Vice President, Product Strategy, PSS Systems
"Offshoring by itself is not enough.This book provides you testing
strategies to stay ahead of the competition and maximize your
investment."
Robert S. Alvin, CEO and Chairman, Netline Corporation
"Despite continued advances in development techniques and technologies,
software quality problems are as pervasive as ever. Software testing teams
are under tremendous pressure to test more complex systems with the same or
fewer resources, and corporate managers are always looking to shave costs
by leveraging offshore testing. This book does a great job of highlighting
the fundamental challenges of software testing today, and then presents a
thoughtful solution for leveraging test automation and offshoring to
meeting your organizations quality goals."
Adam Au, Vice President, Engineering, Centrify Corporation
"Automation isn't just about technical decisions. Finally, this book is
the first that offers a practical business case for effective test
automation."
Michael Hatam, President, Application Services, Moyo Group
"This is one of the must read books by software executives. It goes over
the major concepts and best practices of software testing in an efficient
and effective manner. At Sun, we already use some of the best practices
described in this book and are planning to adopt the remaining best
practices."
Satya Dodda, QA Director, J2EE App Server, Sun Micro Systems, Inc.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
