Praise for Software Testing with Visual Studio 2010

“Jeff Levinson has written a remarkable book. Remarkable because it distills a mas-

sive amount of information into a clear, readable book that will teach you how to

best use the Visual Studio 2010 Testing Tools. Remarkable because it shows not

just how to use the strengths of the tools, but also how to work around any of their

weaknesses. Remarkable because Jeff walks you through the implementation

strategies that can bring real business value, not just to the testing team, but also

to test the entire organization. If you are implementing the test tools, this book

belongs on your desk. My dog-eared and marked-up copy sits on mine.”

—Steven Borg, Owner, Northwest Cadence

“Testing—and testers—don’t get enough respect. By providing a great mix of the

what, why, and how of testing with Visual Studio 2010, this book will help change

that. More important, it will help make the software we use better.”

—David Chappell, Principal, Chappell & Associates

“Jeff has once again written a great book, ﬁlled with nice nuggets of testing wis-

dom. A great addition to your testing and ALM library for anyone using Visual

Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010.”

—Mickey Gousset, Microsoft ALM MVP and Senior

“Jeff’s book is by far the most in-depth investigation of the Test features in Visual

Studio ALM I have seen. His insight and experience help the readers understand

the impact of poor testing and how they can improve the quality of their software.

I particularly liked the obvious real-world understanding of the realities of soft-

ware testing when applied in practice and the effort by the author to show the

readers the ways around those realities.”

—Martin Hinshelwood, Visual Studio ALM MVP

and Visual Studio ALM Ranger

“Software Testing deﬁnes much more than the usage of a testing tool; it shows the

practical way in which we test at Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, this book

provides the deﬁnitive process to using Microsoft Test Manager with the rigor

that we test here at Microsoft.”

—Randy Miller, ALM Architect, Microsoft

“Jeff provides the rare combination of deep, insider knowledge of Microsoft’s 2010

testing tools coupled with pragmatic details about how to plan, manage, and exe-

cute testing in the real world.”

—Mark Mydland, Director of Test, Visual Studio

Ultimate, Microsoft

“With Jeff’s extensive knowledge with Microsoft’s ALM offering, this book will get

you started on the right track with all the new testing capabilities offered by the

Visual Studio 2010 suite. Whether you are a new or veteran tester, the personal

insights the author brings to the testing topic are very interesting and useful….”
