The only book that covers Visual Basic for software testing, a large and very critical industry. Most testers need to know some programming to enhance their job abilities; but the problem is that all of the trade books textbooks, and courses are directed towards developers. Mary Sweeney's book responds to a huge unmet need. This book is easy to read and understand and isn't intended to be a high-level technical reference. Rather, it's a practical guide with many examples provided by real testers with real world experience in writing Visual Basic test code. It's useful for those considering a career in testing and wondering just what the difference is between writing code for testing and writing code for software development.
