Unsolicited feedback on the Foundation Guide Syllabus v4 ISBN 978-0-9536056-6-8. Used with permission January 2025 and a personal response by the author was made.
Dear Catherine Newbould,
I hope this email finds you well. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your ISTQB Foundation Level certification study guide. Thanks to the clarity and quality of its content, I was able to successfully pass my exam in December (I successfully passedwith a 95% score).
The book provided me with a solid understanding of software testing principles, and I truly appreciated its structured approach and practical examples. Given the positive results I achieved, I am considering using more of your publications in the future to further expand my knowledge in the field.
Once again, thank you for your valuable contribution to the software testing community. I look forward to exploring more of your work. Best regards, JS
Response by the publisher
In response to negative reviews shown on Amazon from Taya 4 Dec 2024 and A. Davis 19 Dec 2024.
The author and publisher are unable to respond to these reviews directly or through Amazon, so here is a brief statement.
The publisher and author will always respond to queries and questions raised by individuals. This is clearly stated in every book and an email to contact[@]revisionary.co.uk will guarantee a response. However, there can be frustration over some possibly confusing aspects of a syllabus, examples and/or questions. Occasionally errors may creep in. These are often listed in the ‘Updates’ section of this website when identified.
The Advanced Test Analyst Guide ISBN 978-0-9536056-3-7 published October 2022 has over 300 pages and contains over 160 questions. Each question has one or two correct options and three valid, but incorrect answers. So out of nearly 700 possible answer options throughout the book, there may still be inaccuracies.
Proofreading is a complex operation and a variety of methods and experienced individuals are involved in the process. The Foundation Guide v4 took over three months to proofread following a change of syllabus and new content creation.
We do not offer training courses to prepare for ISTQB qualifications. If there is any aspect of our publications that is unclear, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you.
