Managing the Testing Process: Practical Tools and Techniques for Managing Hardware and Software Testing

B.2. Bibliography and Related Readings

The following is my "suggested reading" list for test managers. Most of these books and articles are referenced somewhere in Managing the Testing Process. However, some I have included simply because I feel that you might benefit from a familiarity with the material presented, or with the author's point of view. Until fairly recently, there was a paucity of materials for the test professional, but that has begun to change. I encourage you to stay current and involved with the latest thinking and research in the field. Today's wacky idea is tomorrow's best practice, and the day after's expected minimum skill-set.
