I read the first chapter, and am tempted to throw the book out. The author cannot write a clear English sentence to save his life.

William Perry hits on many aspects of software testing and how it is impacted by other phases within the software development life cycle. This is one book that anyone involved in the testing arena needs to read. The success of test group cannnot continue without Perry’s ideas.

The book is full of hypothesis. Till now nobody would have implemented all the checklists/templates/procedures mentioned in this book, in their real environment and I can bet on this.
Checklists are needed if the task of review/testing is very critical and the organizational processes shall demand that. An attempt to define a checklist/template to make it global is real childishness.
The definition of Verification and Validation itself is written wrong in this book. I dont know if these terms had such definitions during the past years.
Summary: We are in 2003 now. If somebody wants to go back to 1970 then this book will be very useful for them. A wise decision for normal readers would be to move away from this page. Thanks.

The Perry text will serve as a solid basic text for academic settings (thus the 4 star rating) but needs to be updated for client/server testing situations.
