Step-by-step tutorials, based on actual games, are illustrated with b&w screenshots. Appendices offer answers to select exercises as well as test plan and testflow diagram templates. The companion DVD contains a test generation tool, game footage demonstrating errors, test table templates, and four-color screenshots. Schultz is a mobile developer.
