Short list of books to read, if you want to know about software testing.

My short list about books related to Software Testing:

 

• How to Break Software (Amazon). In this book James Whittaker go into the basic actions of software testing and boundary analisis. Once you get the idea about how you should test one single field, you might like to read...
• Explore it! (Pragmatic). Where Elisabeth Hendrickson will explain how you can explore your software, be it a desktop application, a web or a API. Once you know how to explore and test, you might want to understand why this is important, so...
• Perfect Software and other illusions about Testing (Amazon) By Jerry Weinberg can help you understand the relationship of testers, developers and the rest of the world.
• And the closest book to a Bible we have in Software Testing: Lessons learned in software testing.

And there is more...

• If you want to go Agile: Agile Testing and More Agile Testing will help you understand the Agile Context.
• If you want to grow big: How to reduce cost of software testing.
• If you want to grow nice: Beautiful Testing.
• If you want to have fun while testing: Cartoon Tester.

I am missing some others, but otherwise this would not be a short list.
