A Software Testing Primer - An Introduction to Software Testing

Nick Jenkins has written a nice introductory primer that covers the main concepts and terms of software testing. He does a great job of explaining the basics and provides the reader with a taxonomy of testing types and terminology. I plan to use this book as a reference when teaching software testing at RTL.

Below are the topics covered from the table of contents, and after you click on the "Read More..." link, you can view the book in its entirety.
  • Introduction
  • Concepts of testing
  • Functional testing
  • Non-functional testing
  • Test planning
  • Test preparation
  • Test execution
  • Test reporting and metrics
  • Other stuff (release control)
  • Pure Theory
