راهنمای تست نرم‌افزار پیشرفته

Great book A very detailed one. It covers all areas needed to learn for ISTQB exams (Test Analyst, Technical Test Analyst, Test Manager). It is very well-structured and organized. The author made a great effort to make it concise yet very comprehensive. The book is organized not only to cover all aspects of ISTQB Advanced and sometimes even more. The book has a lot of valuable examples, especially in Chapter 4 and 5. Drawings, tables and charts are excellent. The sentences are very clear. It covers a lot more than other books for ISTQB exams. In my opinion this is the most valuable book that will help you prepare for the ISTQB Advanced exams although beginners could find it helpful as well. The contents: Chapter 1.
