Professional Books by Leo van der Aalst

Before turning to fiction, I wrote and co-authored professional books on software quality, testing, DevOps and high-performing organizations.

This publishing background shaped the way I write today. It taught me structure, clarity and discipline. It also gave me a lifelong interest in systems under pressure, decisions with consequences and people who must perform when failure is not an option.

That same fascination now runs through my psychological noir thrillers.

TMAP NEXT® for Result-Driven Testing

TMap offers the tester and the test manager guidelines to deliver results for the client. Through the years, TMap evolved into a de facto standard for testing information systems. It is currently implemented in hundreds of companies and institutions all over the world. 

The power of TMap can be largely ascribed to the many experiences from actual practice that it incorporates. This makes the book a valuable tool for current and future challenges in the field of testing.
