Excellent handbook for Exploratory/Rapid Testing
I am the Exploratory/Rapid test lead for Manpower Managed Service that is contracted to do the HP LaserJet R&D testing.I have over 3 years of hands on experience in this capacity and had a conserable amount of training from Satisfice.

Exploratory and Rapid based testing differ from the more accepted automated system test infrastructure because tests are developed, executed and evaluated in real time by the test technician, this form of testing is extremely valuable and finds a great many defects and is best used in conjunction with automated regression and feature tests.

Because one person is doing what 3 people normally are tasked with the person must develop excellent critical thinking skills as well as the ability toe recognize and work around their own biases.

This book covers many of the important aspects of Exploratory/Rapid Based testing in a fun and easy to read way, the layout of the book is excellent.

Viable process that does not compromise quality
Rapid Testing
This book provides a testing process and associated techniques that adds the agility required to meet fast-paced business requirements without sacrificing the due diligence or controls necessary to manage risk.

There is nothing especially new about the processes or techniques that the author proposes and explains; however, the way the processes are designed recasts tried and true methods into a streamlined process. Indeed, if the rapid testing process is correctly implemented it's possible to reduce testing cycle time while *improving* quality. I like the way the author begins by clearly defining terms.I know from experience that "acceptance test" means one thing in one organization, and something quite different in another. What I especially like, though, is the clear process itself, which consists of four major elements, each of which is thoroughly addressed in the book: (1) people, (2) integrated test process, (3) static testing and (4) dynamic testing.

Another key strength of this book is the way the traditional (and much maligned) waterfall model is transformed into a hybrid called a parallel waterfall. This hybrid model is the best of the waterfall and V model, and like the V model, it tightly integrates testing and development.The author's approach to activity-input-output in the discussion of life cycle models is close to the entry-task-validation-exit process model, and the structure that is presented allows you to develop a process chain that produces predictable and repeatable results. This approach is partially why the testing process can be rapid without compromising quality or ignoring risks.

In Part II the book provides tips and techniques.Again, there is nothing especially new, but all of the key techniques are covered, including requirements and analysis, test planning, executing and reporting.Black box testing is covered well, as are an array of dynamic testing techniques (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, memory leak testing, use case testing and performance tests.)If you're in a Microsoft-centric environment you'll appreciate the material on memory leak testing, and if you are in a development environment that employs UML or the Rational Unified Process the techniques for use case testing will prove helpful.

Part III provides detailed examples that are based on material presented in Part II.Overall this book lives up to its title by providing a 'safe' and effective process for rapid testing. ... Read more

Pharmacology meets Kitty Cuteness
Pharmacologist will get a laugh over this adorable pamphlet illustrating drugs from the feline viewpoint.Short and sweet, this book depicts a drug per page with a charming kitty illustration.

One Very Neurotic Cat Who Can Stop Whenever He Wants To...
This is a simply delightful little book about a cat who has a whole bevy of modern psychological issues, and finds relief in the miracles of Prozac, Xanax, Valium, Ambien, and a whole host of other medicinal delights! I was surprised to find that the only disorder this poor kitty didn't suffer from was Attention Deficit Disorder, but given his daily dosage of mood altering substances, I'm betting he'll feel just fine even if ADD is diagnosed in a sequel.

This is a very funny book, and is a quick read. The narrative is funny and crisp, the illustrations are wonderful, and the whole thing serves as a witty parable of the excesses of modern life, and the easy way out so often prescribed by so many Psychiatrists today.

I love this book! Buy a copy for yourself, your favorite cat lover, and your Therapist today!

The best pharmaceutical guide for treating feline neuroses!
If you know a cat lover who also works in the mental health field, then you have just found the ultimate gift.This book touts the benefits of various mood-altering prescription drugs for your furry friends.When the catnip stops working, you can use this guide to find out how to mellow that meow.Buy one for your vet while you are at it and you may find a source for some free samples.And if your vet won't help you out, you can always buy your pills from one of those online drug stores that spam you every day. ...

Excellent ecclesiology for laypersons
The general editor of "The Layman's Theological Library" authors this volume in that series.Robert McAfee Brown (1920-2001) was professor of theology and ethics at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, CA.Of this book on the church he writes:"There is nothingt in this particular book that cannot be found in a dozen other books.But because laymen probably don't have time to read a dozen books about the church, this one attempts to pull together for them some of the things that Christians, standing broadly in the Protestant Reformed tradition, have believed about the Church."Includes a chapter on Roman Catholicism, which honestly examines differences with Protestants but is, nonetheless, an appeal for charity and fraternity between the two. ...

Best round ever.
I had the pleasure of playing several rounds of golf with Robert Brown. As helpful as his book "The Golfing Mind" has been to me, his insights and instructions as we worked on my game has been invaluable. I had rarely broken 90 until we started playing together. The best round of my life (83)came in a match with him and a gentleman who for all the world reminded me of Shivas Irons. Perhaps there is a special faternity of great golfing minds and on occassion a neophyte is allowed to witness the wizards at work. The events of that round are burned into my memory and are the standard by which I gauge my game. Thank you Bob.

No easy read or quick fix, but filled with golf knowledge
I read both reviews before buying the book. Both were right. Not simple entertainment and not quick fixes, but certainly a lot of information. No stories of the tour and a lot of abstract ideas make it less fun reading,but I thought it was better than any other mental game book out there-likethe difference between playing a golf course with windmills and PebbleBeach.

Yawn
This book is like a text book for university students. It's too academic. If you want practical information or entertainment this is not a book for you.

Amazing depth yet clear and easy reading
The only mental game of golf book that goes beyond the simple techniques of visualizing and relaxing. I especially liked learning about how the mind approaches problems, and how it breaks down during tough situations. This one will be on my shelf for a long time and a lot of re-reading ... Read more

Product Description
This unique full-color surgical atlas of nasal anatomy presents a true-to-life view of the nasal structures and subcutaneous tissues during surgery. The book contains an unprecedented collection of full-color photographs of fresh cadaver sections, anatomical illustrations, and actual patient photographs. The full-color photographs of fresh dissections are juxtaposed with full-color air-brush illustrations of the surgical anatomy, and this innovative combination of fresh tissue preparations and surgical drawings affords a more realistic view of the complexities of this anatomy than is found in standard atlases. It provides a complete preview of the prospective surgical site for both the seasoned surgeon and the resident in training and is also ideal for anatomic study in preparation for board certification.Written by a leading authority with over 25 years of experience, the text describes the specific features of nasal anatomy that directly influence the reconstructive, restorative, and cosmetic aspects of the rhinoplasty operation. Emphasis is on contemporary techniques of conserving and preserving nasal tissue to produce more aesthetic results rather than relying upon more traditional tissue resection and reduction methods. Full-color photographs of patients demonstrating variant nasal anatomy are followed by clear, logical explanations and demonstrations of exactly how specific salutary results were surgically created. ...

Product Description
Satan's Preacher Man - Act 1 is the first in a trilogy of Christian allegories told from the Devil's point-of-view.Satan's Preacher Man, the most mysterious and enigmatic personality in the mythology of the Blues, has unfortunately disappeared almost completely from the collective consciousness of the human race. No book records his life, no wax recording records his music, and no gravestone records his epitaph; a life erased almost completely from the annals of human history. His heinous deeds, however, are recorded in the memories of a select few, who have finally, after a half-century of silence and fear, have begun to remember the life and resurrect the legend of this charismatic and most unfathomable man. Most speak of Satan's Preacher Man with contemptuousness in their voice and terror in their soul. The evils of Satan's Preacher Man know no bounds, not even the bounds of Death herself! "Satan's best work is done in the name of Jesus!" - Satan's Preacher Man, 1937"Robert Dwight Brown is the dark genius of the blues. Satan's Preacher Man is his masterpiece. The spirit of Robert Johnson is brought to life in this cult classic of Mississippi Delta Blues. It contains all the classic Blues archetypes: the Hellhound, the Crossroads, and the Deal with the Devil. And it brings a new archetype: preaching the blues. We've had singing the blues, living the blues, but now through the character of Satan's Preacher Man, we have preaching the blues. The blues is preached through sermons, song lyrics, and incredible dialogue. Like Robert Johnson's words and music, this novel has the haunting spirit, the mysterious feel, and the Mississippi Delta earthiness of the blues." - Tony Moffeit, author of Poetry is Dangerous: The Poet is an Outlaw and singer-songwriter of Outlaw Blues Revolution. ...
