  8. . By getting this ebook, can gain a ‘test to break’ attitude,
    . An ability to take the point of view of the customer,
    . A strong desire for quality, and an attention to detail.
    . It can be helpful as it provides a deeper understanding of the software development process, gives me an appreciation for the developers’ point of view, and reduce the learning curve in automated test tool programming.
    . Judgment skills are needed to assess high-risk areas of an application on which to focus testing efforts when time is limited is attained by this ebook.
