最近有關Software Testing的新書


最近歐萊禮出了不少有關software testing方面的書籍, 根據它之前的口碑,這些書的內容很值得期待.其中第二本已經出了, 大家可以先出看看
1. The Art of Application Performance Testing: Help for Programmers and Quality Assurance
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Application-Performance-Testing-Programmers/dp/0596520662/ref=sr_1_24?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227839378&sr=1-24

http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Testing-Practical-Addison-Wesley-Signature/dp/0321534468/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227839378&sr=1-13

近兩年來已經很少出test automation的書, 很難得又有一本出來. 上一本比較紅的是NET Test Automation Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (2006年出版)
4. Implementing Automated Software Testing: How to Lower Costs While Raising Quality
http://www.amazon.com/Implementing-Automated-Software-Testing-Raising/dp/0321580516/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227839320&sr=1-5

http://www.amazon.com/How-We-Test-Software-Microsoft/dp/0735624259/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227841178&sr=1-1

每次溫老的書意境深遠, 不太好讀和了解. 看看我列在下面的目錄, 就知道這本書很硬, 都是一些大哉問的topic.
