The Certified Software Quality Engineer Handbook Review: Fantastic Reference - Not Just for Quality Engineers - This is a well-written encyclopedia of software engineering best practices. Linda Westfall has done an amazingly good job of presenting the broad field of software engineering practices clearly and concisely. In a subject this vast, packed into about 600 pages, you might expect to see fine print and terse explanations. Not so. The font size and white space are generous and there is typically one illustration per two pages. The writing quality is excellent - it is engaging and informative, not dull, dry or dummied-down. With its good balance of readability and information, this book is a great reference for not just software quality engineers but also for managers, software developers, technicians and students. I am a software developer, not a quality engineer, and I am mid-point in studying toward a Master of Software Engineering degree. This book will be valuable to me as a resource for discussing software engineering methodology with the engineers and managers I work with. One of my fellow engineers, a quality engineer, successfully used this book and its practice exams to prepare for the Certified Software Quality Engineer test offered by American Society for Quality. As I wrote this review I pulled down and considered two books from my shelf: Software Engineering 8 by Ian Sommerville, and Software Quality Engineering by Jeff Tian. Those were both textbooks in my Software Engineering graduate curriculum. If I were to thin out my bookshelf I would discard those two books and keep Linda Westfall's. I highly recommend Linda Westfall's The Certified Quality Engineer Handbook. Review: Very helpful for me - Passed my ASQ certification using this book. ( I also been in the Software QA role for many years) The tests were included on the disc were very similar to the actual exam (taken in Jun 2016). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,912,493 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,837 in Software Testing #40,048 in Computer Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (17) | | Dimensions | 7 x 1.75 x 10 inches | | Edition | Har/Cdr | | ISBN-10 | 0873897307 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0873897303 | | Item Weight | 3.55 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 640 pages | | Publication date | September 28, 2009 | | Publisher | Asq Pr | ## Images ![The Certified Software Quality Engineer Handbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91EkCZEurzL.jpg) ![The Certified Software Quality Engineer Handbook - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91KNCQJXoNL.jpg) ![The Certified Software Quality Engineer Handbook - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mMF5bF9zL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Reference - Not Just for Quality Engineers *by J***Y on January 21, 2012* This is a well-written encyclopedia of software engineering best practices.

( I also been in the Software QA role for many years) The tests were included on the disc were very similar to the actual exam (taken in Jun 2016). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I recommend it. It has allowed me to come up ... *by A***N on July 19, 2016* This is a two part review: The first part is about the book as a physical item. The edition sold was a pirated copy from India marked "not for sale in the USA". When I was in graduate school it was common to see such books in the hands of foreign students. The text was a word for word copy printed in books with very thin paper with sloppily made covers. But since the text was word for word, they were very usable for a course or two. But not for reference. I do not think that the book I have will hold up to extended use. (I bought from: Maple_Leaf_Books.) Second part is the book itself, the part that Ms. Westfall is responsible for. I have been to one of her live training and some video recorded ones, and the book follows her lecture material. As a beginning Software QA person for a government agency that is responsible for a large number of very visible projects, this has been the starting point for my training, and I recommend it. It has allowed me to come up to speed in a sort time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/8431229-the-certified-software-quality-engineer-handbook](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/8431229-the-certified-software-quality-engineer-handbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
