How Can I Test This? Book
About the Book:
If you have ever wondered, what do you mean by that? This is the book for you.
This book puts examples at the forefront.
Instead of test theory being front and centre, with maybe an example or two if you’re lucky, this book makes examples the focus.
We share:
- The scenarios/features/sites that need to be tested (the example)
- Which test heuristics we would apply, why and how
- Any assumptions we would make (which of course should be communicated)
- How we would limit scope and why
- Tools we would utilise (with links to read up on those tools) It’s like we are right there with you!
But in eBook format.
Included chapters:
- Chapter 1: How Can I Test Sign-In for an E-commerce Site?
- Chapter 2: How Can I Test a Web Application That Has a Microservices Architecture?
- Chapter 3: How Can I Test an Update Booking functionality on the API of a Booking Platform?
- Chapter 4: How Can I Test Sort Functionality for a Discussion Forum?

“I’ve given many courses, tutorials and workshops on software testing. I wish I had a resource like this book before, in order to help my students with more practical examples and exercises to make the learning process even more enjoyable and effective. You will enrich your test ideas by reading the mind of other testers in their process of designing test ideas in front of a specific situation. I hope this work encourages more testing professionals to open source their testing.”
Federico Toledo, COO, Uruguay
“This book provides a lot of different test ideas and questions that can be asked for ensuring a scenario is properly thought out. I would recommend this book not only for persons looking to get into the software testing field to learn about heuristics but also for those already in the field looking for different considerations on how they can approach and test scenarios. I found myself smiling and nodding in agreement with the approaches taken for testing.”
Julia Pottinger, Head of Training and Development, Jamaica
“This book is a great resource that’s jam packed with examples on how testers approach different types of applications. The authors have been thorough in explaining how they would test a specific feature or application by using heuristics to generate test ideas. They also explained what tools to use to help with their testing and harnessing the power of questions to make sure that the application is testable. If you’re looking for new ideas to help with your testing, then this book is perfect!”
