After my presentation at PNSQC in October, I was giving away copies of How We Test Software at Microsoft, and Michael Larsen said that if I gave him a copy, he\u2019d review it on his blog. I figured that was better than giving it to someone to sell on ebay, so I took a shot. <\/p>\n

Michael responded with the most in depth multi-part book review ever. Seriously, it was pretty cool, and I owe Michael a copy of my next book (which I plan to start writing sometime in 2027).<\/p>\n
