How Google Tests Software

“James Whittaker has long had the pulse of the issues that are shaping

testing practice. In the decade of the Cloud Transformation, this book is a

must read not just for Googlers, but for all testers who want their prac-

in-the-wild testing to complement their in-the-lab efforts. This appetite for

innovation has enabled Google to solve new problems and launch better

apps.

In this book, James Whittaker provides a blueprint for Google’s suc-

cess in the rapidly evolving world of app testing.”

“This book is a game changer, from daily releases to heads-up displays.

James Whittaker takes a computer-science approach to testing that will be

the standard for software companies in the future. The process and tech-

nical innovations we use at Google are described in a factual and enter-

ern software testing.”

“If you ship code in the cloud and want to build a strategy for ensuring a

quality product with lots of happy customers, you must study and seri-

ously consider the methods in this book.”

“James Whittaker is an inspiration and mentor to many people in the

field of testing. We wouldn’t have the talent or technology in this field

without his contributions. I am consistently in awe of his drive, enthusi-

asm, and humor. He’s a giant in the industry and his writing should be

things at Google. James, Jason Arbon, and Jeff Carollo have packed this

book with innovative testing ideas, practical examples, and insights into

the Google testing machine. Anyone with an ounce of curiosity about

Google’s approach to testing and quality or with the smallest desire to

discover a few new ideas in testing will find value in these pages.”
