Software Quality Engineering

In early 2008 I was dragged kicking and screaming from my cubicle and entrusted with the dubious honor of starting a QA team. No further instructions as to how precisely this was to be accomplished or how quality was to be quantified were provided. Armed only with a strong desire to learn and excel at my new profession, I have been tossed around, torn to pieces, and thrown at a lot of scary and difficult situations in the world of software testing! But it has been an amazing journey so far, with rewards (and I'm not talking about monetary rewards only) too numerous to count, and plenty of learning opportunities. With this book, it is my goal to tell you about some of these situations and experiences and, by sharing with you how I have turned them into life and career lessons, hopefully, help you become a better, more effective, and brave professional.
