patterns & practices Acceptance Test Engineering Guide reaches “Beta 2”

The P&P team is looking for feedback and avid readers of their Acceptance Test Engineering Guide.  Beta 2 was released yesterday on CodePlex.  It’s a svelte 209 pages, in “commentable PDF”.

It’s a thick, thick document.  They cover a number of test perspectives, including the solution architect, the development manager, user experience, operations manager, test manager, and enterprise architect.  I’ve barely glossed the document so far.

The main authors are Grigori Melnik, Gerard Meszaros, and Jon Bach.  Grigori blogged about the new segmentation of the guide and put out a table of contents at Acceptance Test Engineering Guide, volume 1 BETA2 release.

I use FoxIt reader to view PDF, and if you go to “Tools->Commenting Tools” you’ll find a variety of options to comment the PDF.  They would like comments to go through the Codeplex site (Issue Tracker or Discussion Forum) or you can email it to Grigori.

The CodePlex site is located at patterns & practices Acceptance Test Engineering Guidance – Home.  You can download the document from here.
