It provides an overview of different techniques, both dynamic and static. The book is ideal for those with a little experience of software testing who wish to cement their knowledge with industry-recognised techniques and theory. It supports the revised ISTQB - ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing providing self assessment exercises, guidance notes on the syllabus topics with worked examples and sample examination questions. This 2nd edition covers the 2010 update to the exam syllabus. "Succinctly and clearly written with no non-sense. An unreserved 5 for value for money" IT Training Magazine (referring to 1st edition) Review: Essential, Accessible, and Comprehensive – A Must-Have Study Partner - This textbook, "Software Testing: An ISTQB-ISEB Foundation Guide," is widely considered the gold standard for anyone preparing for the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) exam. It isn't just a guide; it's a foundational text that clearly lays out the entire field of professional software testing, making it indispensable for both certification candidates and new testers alike. Why This Book Stands Out: Syllabus Alignment: The content is meticulously structured to map directly to the official ISTQB/ISEB Foundation syllabus. Every Learning Objective (LO) is covered thoroughly, ensuring you don't miss any critical topics needed for the exam. Clear, Accessible Language: While testing terminology can be dense, the authors excel at explaining complex concepts—like Test Design Techniques or the V-Model—in plain English. The use of practical examples helps cement theoretical knowledge. Excellent Visual Aids: The book includes clear diagrams and charts that visually represent abstract ideas. For instance, the section on the Seven Principles of Testing is broken down visually, and the explanation of the Different Test Levels is aided by strong graphics. Shutterstock Strong Review Material: Each chapter features review questions that are excellent for self-assessment. They help reinforce key definitions and concepts immediately after you read them. Who Should Buy This Book? ISTQB/ISEB CTFL Candidates: This should be your primary textbook. Read it cover-to-cover, highlight, and take notes. Career Switchers/New Testers: If you're entering the testing field, this provides the fundamental vocabulary and process knowledge required to succeed in any professional QA environment. In Summary: This isn't the kind of book you read once and put away; it's a long-term reference. If you are serious about a career in software testing and passing the ISTQB exam, this guide is an investment that will pay dividends. It simplifies a complex domain into digestible, memorable chunks. Highly, highly recommended. Review: Good, solid study guide to the CTFL exam. - It helped me pass the Foundation Level certification exam. Some of the chapters were hard to follow, and to feel like I understood everything, but I think that is understandable since it is a pretty high-level coverage of the subject. Some chapters were quite enjoyable to read. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,920,034 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,739 in Software Testing #8,459 in Computer Programming Languages | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 261 Reviews | ## Images ![Software Testing: An Istqb-iseb Foundation Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41vt7NewilL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential, Accessible, and Comprehensive – A Must-Have Study Partner *by J***H on November 19, 2025* This textbook, "Software Testing: An ISTQB-ISEB Foundation Guide," is widely considered the gold standard for anyone preparing for the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) exam.

Some of the chapters were hard to follow, and to feel like I understood everything, but I think that is understandable since it is a pretty high-level coverage of the subject. Some chapters were quite enjoyable to read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic book for any tester/test manager *by S***A on October 15, 2012* I bought this book out of curiosity and I am glad that I did purchase the book (Kindle version). This book wass worth reading. Anyone having some sort of SDLC background should understand the storyline captured by this book and use it in real life. This book is, however, NOT for someone who wants to become a tester. This book will definitely help someone having some sort of SDLC knowledge pass ISTQB Foundation exam. I enjoyed it and I believe it's a good book for people hoping to get ISTQB certified. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6316705-software-testing-an-istqb-iseb-foundation-guide](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6316705-software-testing-an-istqb-iseb-foundation-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
