Earlier this year, when my friend Vijay Shinde from softwaretestinghelp.com contacted me to be the co-author and editor of his long-planned Book with software testing tips and tricks, it was a pleasant surprise.

So when I was approached with the honor to co-author this book and let my words find their way into this long-awaited testing help guide, I couldn't say no.
