Advanced Software Testing Volume 1: Guide to the Istqb Advanced Certification as an Advanced Test Analyst

Fantastic book! Did enhance and broaden my knowledge and understanding.

The information in the book is very well structured.

Excellent book

Great piece of writing. Explicit, informative and educational.

Like it and valuable

Kept my QA tester quiet for a bit.

This book was really helpful for my ISTQB advanced test analyst exam prep.

Best book by Rex black for istqb preparation.

A good, thorough book for its specific purpose.

using it to study for an exam.. great material for studying

For me the book only served as a crosscheck for the syllabus and a course I've bought on Udemy. Some of the chapters are no longer relevant, but the ones which stayed are very well written and explained in a feasible human language with a sprinkle of humour which made the material graspable in one go. Other than that, the sample questions do not represent what is in the actual exam (the real questions are way harder), but they're an alright reference to check whether you know the very basics. The HELLOCARMS example is a bit of a slog, I recommend skipping it. This really needs an update, a 3rd edition to match the v3.1 of the ISTQB syllabus. But if you're serious about the exam, I still recommend the book to at least go over chapters 1, 2, 3 and some other (forgot which one, it has user story/requirement reviews), as that extra bit of understanding might tip the scales between passing and failing.
