Managing the Test People: A Guide to Practical Technical Management
Managing the Test People was written for managers, leads,
and people who may soon find themselves in a technical
leadership position. It focuses on some of the unique
problems in the software quality assurance profession, yet
the bulk of the book is applicable to any technical
management job. It provides practical advice
for the novice
and affirmation for the expert. It contains real world
stories illustrating the concepts discussed in the text.
This book is written from a practitioner's viewpoint. The
author has been in software management for over 20 years,
working in a variety of companies, and has always been
struck by the lack of practical, real world advice found
only in general management books. Yes, all those methods
should theoretically work, until you add in the politics of
the environment, the technical work that must be done and,
of course, those pesky people who seem intent on fouling up
your plans. Managing the Test People is real - it's about
the real world where there are real problems and real
people, and it provides viable solutions that can actually
be implemented.
