Testing is often misunderstood or overlooked in the software development process, but it is a crucial aspect that can make or break the quality and reliability of your applications. This book is not just about teaching you how to write tests, but about helping you build the mindset and skills necessary to create software that is inherently testable and maintainable.

Testing for Software Engineers is a comprehensive guide designed for software developers who want to master the art of testing. It combines theoretical insights with practical examples, taking you through the entire process of building testable systems, understanding modern test automation practices, and applying them to real-world scenarios. With a focus on automation and quality, this book is your gateway to becoming a more proficient, confident developer who understands the critical role of testing in the software development lifecycle.

Among other things, you'll learn:

The difference between testing and checking, and how the \"Testing Industrial Complex\" can lead to poor practices.
Core concepts around testability and the essential characteristics of testable systems.
How to integrate testing seamlessly into your development workflow, with a focus on continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD).
Best practices for building deterministic systems, separating deployments from releases, and using feature toggles effectively.
A detailed guide to various testing methods, including unit testing, smoke testing, API testing, end-to-end testing, and more.
How to apply testing in modern, distributed, microservice-based architectures, with real-world examples using serverless technologies on AWS.

Whether you're a frustrated developer looking to improve your processes or a seasoned engineer seeking to refine your testing approach, Testing for Software Engineers offers the tools and insights you need to succeed. It is designed to be accessible to developers of all skill levels, whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your understanding of testing.

This book is an essential resource for any software engineer who wants to elevate their testing skills and build more reliable, maintainable software.
