Das Buch ist ein spannender Lesestoff f r Kinder, entweder allein oder zusammen mit einem Erwachsenen oder als zus tzliche Lekt re in der Schule. Die Geschichten sind perfekt f r alle, die wissen wollen, was Softwaretests sind ohne die trockene Fachliteratur studieren zu m ssen. Das Buch handelt von den Abenteuern zweier Kinder, Laura und Tom, die sich gegen Drachen behaupten m ssen, welche ihre D rfer und Schl sser bedrohen. Die Kinder lernen verschiedene Arten von Drachen kennen und erfahren, wie man sie mit Hilfe von Rittern besiegen kann. Sie werden zu besonders geschickten Drachenexperten. Die Geschichten erschlie en Begriffe und Ideen aus der Informatik und dem Testen von Software. Der Drache steht zum Beispiel f r den Fehler in der Software und die Ritter f r die Tester und Entwickler. Durch das Lesen der Abenteuer kann man diese Konzepte einfach verstehen und lernen. In diesem Buch verbindet Kari Kakkonen seine Leidenschaft f r Fantasie und Softwaretests auf eine neue und faszinierende Weise und schafft so ein unterhaltsames Erlebnis f r seine Leser. Der Stoff ist f r jede Altersgruppe von 10 bis 99 Jahren geeignet, obwohl das Buch mit Blick auf Kinder geschrieben wurde. Ich liebe die Idee, Testen und Drachen zu verbinden. Das Softwaretesten auf diese Weise zu erkl ren, eignet sich hervorragend, um neuen Testern einen  berblick  ber die Tiefe des Testens zu geben. Die Geschichten sind auch f r sich eine spannende Unterhaltung f r Kinder, k nnen sie aber auch dazu anregen, dar ber nachzudenken, wie sie die von ihnen genutzten Apps testen k nnten. Janet Gregory, DragonFire Inc, Mitautorin von drei B chern  ber agiles Testen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52473513083153,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52473514295569,"sku":"NLS9783819266201","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783819266201.jpg?v=1759840122"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-kari-kakkonen.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
