The primary motivation for preparing this book is to serve as a beginner's guide targeted at aspiring and budding software testers to help them in establishing a sustained and fulfilling career path. This book is just a tip of the iceberg and not a bible of concepts which would suit every context. However, it is an impetus and a starting point for digging deeper in the software testing space. There are a wide variety of resources dedicated in various topics based on your area of interest.
This book influences by my interactions with industry leaders, testing forums, customers, and end-users. Cross-functional teams, developers, regulatory personnel, project managers and business directors also provided insights.
