original but bias
Reviewer: fjord from Portland, OR United States
When I was in China, I read a review on this book, saying
C. T. Hsia was funded by C.I.A when writting this book.
"the book is bias and full of hatry to Communist China" the
reviewer said, "that is why this book is banned in China".
I was so curious that the first book I checked out from a U.S.A
library was this one. I am disappointed since Hsia is really
bias and sometimes paranoia.

He really did not understand the huge difficulty all Chinese
writers faced in the past 100 years. And sometimes I really
doubt whether he is a Chinese at all? When he sat there laughing
at Communist writers, did he realize those were of the same
origin of his parents and himself?

In this sense, this book is just common, not great, since it
is lack of love and forgiveness, the basic elements of all great
works.

Nice collection, deceptive packaging
This book is a collection of reprinted articles, which are good (re)reading. But the blurb suggests that there is new and original content, which there isn't. If it saves you a trip to the library, you'll probably have gotten your money's worth.

Excellent overview of OO testing
As far as I know, there are less than 100 articles on OO testing -- this book covers the relatively new field in seven well-organized chapters, from its problems to integration testing and test methodologies. Perhaps something more could be done with specific approaches to conducting OO testing for C++ or Java programs, but I found the book helpful in its approach to identify specific OO testing problems in the first chapter and addressing these and related issues about the different phases of software testing in the subsequent chapters.
