About
About the Book
This book is your guide to leading testing activities, especially for those without experience in the testing world. It’s also an up-to-date guide for testing professionals moving into leading testing activities. It’s here to answer the question: If you moved into test leadership roles, what do you wish you could go back and tell yourself before you started?
In large organizations, leadership roles often involve the line management responsibilities of hiring, firing, and running a team. Yet another leadership form exists, where a person leads an activity without hierarchical obligations. The leader of a testing activity can be an individual contributor—a team member who focuses on leading the testing activities.
