Very relevant to Systems Testing too
Although I am a Systems Engineer and therfore more interested in Acceptance and System level test I found this text to a very useful overview of software testing with much of relevance to systems test too. There is a also a very practical process to follow as well as much real world experience and practical advice in this test. Highly recommended.
You'll be glad you read it
I rarely recommend a book just from skimming it, but "Systematic Software Testing" is an exception. I ordered it based on references from other good books and 5-star reviews on the Internet, to see if it would live up to its reputation. It does. "Systematic Software Testing" is a comprehensive but easy-to-read book on all aspects of software testing. And you don't have to read everything at once -- pick a topic and chapter that interests you and start there. You will be glad you did.
