This book describes and explains the Test Process Improvement (TPI) model, which has been tried and validated by numerous professional testers.

With their extensive knowledge and rich experience, the authors offer practical guidance and frameworks to help readers appropriately apply this model to their own companies. This book is suitable for software engineering schools or computer-related majors in universities, as well as software testing courses.
