(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best software testing books

This. Test, test, test.

I want to plug A Friendly Introduction to Software Testing here by my friend Bill Laboon. It's a great way to get started learning TDD.

This guide will get you started with testing in Swift 4. It'll help you get everything set up properly and show you how to write your first tests in Swift. If you want even more depth, you could try Test-Driven iOS Development with Swift 4, Test-Driven iOS Development (Objective-C), or the seminal book, Test-Driven Development: By Example which uses Java.

Selenium WebDriver, mostly. It's a defacto standard now.

Don't tie yourself to python though, test automation tends to be in the same language as the actual product. Or you'll be brought on to maintain and enhance an existing testing framework. Getting to be there when the decisions are made as to what to use is a rare opportunity.

There are a lot of people doing test automation through protractor (node.js), but also python, ruby, java, go ... basically if someone used it to make a web framework, someone also made a web testing framework for it.

Testing is really its own discipline within software development. You could read this book, if you've got the time: A Friendly Introduction to Software Testing

(Test automation is what I do for a living, 15+ years now)

Cool, you will probably find these books to be useful (as I did): Professional C++, 3rd edition and Effective Modern C++

Yeah I have read around 70%-80% of all YDKJS books combined .

Hi, I don't know a lot of such resources. I had read only one book about mobile testing - https://www.amazon.com/Hands-Mobile-App-Testing-Involved/dp/0134191714 - it's not bad especially if you are beginner.

Here you go

You can find complete Java code for this problem in this book:

You could look at Modern C++ Programming with Test-Driven Development by Jeff Langr. It uses cmake, google-test / CppUTest, and google-mock. The book is as accessible as the other ones from the "Pragmatic Programmers" series.

My first programming class was in high school, and there I learned you need to debug your code. I know of several people who got their feet wet when it comes to programing by teaching themselves. Black box testing does require some programming knowledge, but no coding knowledge. And there are books on doing just testing. I just did a quick search and...
