Summary: Fine book. For high-schoolers with short attention spans.
Comment: The book seems to be written for an audience of teens who want to learn how to do basic testing of graphcal user interfaces. It's easy to read, has snappy anecdotes, there are no errors and, ahem, nothing to challenge the grey cells.
I suppose it's very good as far as it goes.

Summary: Wonderful introduction to software testing
Comment: Ron Patton has written a wonderful introduction to software testing. It explains just the right amount of theory and concept before helping the reader build a solid understanding of the testing craft and providing the reader a good starter testing toolbox.
Because of the nature of my company's work, I often find it appropriate to hire people with strong domain knowledge (plus evidence of traits and skills transferable to testing) to be testers. I lend my copy of this book to each new tester and make their first assignment be to read it. When they finish, they have a decent enough understanding of the work that I can make assignments right away.

Summary: Solid Introductory Book
Comment: Very good book that covers several other topics related to software testing: software testing documentation, bug tracking Quality Assurance, compatibility and internationalization testing, ...
Contains many suggestions on areas that are error prone. I found the book and excellent introductory level book that exposes you to all the facets of software testing.
I give four stars as I found the part on actual software testing rather light. White/Black box static/dynamic testing are each covered in a separate chapter. Would be ideally complemented by a reference document on actual software testing techniques.
