</div><br></div>Hi Brahmini and thanks for the report, I have added it to the list[1].<br><br>I have promised that I will send her a list of resources on how to get started with testing in general, and also how to get started with test automation.<br>


<br>For getting started with test automation, I would recommend Cucumber & Cheese book by Jeff Morgan[2]. I am also working on a book[3], but it is far from finished.<br><br>For testing in general, I would recommend How to Break Software by James A. Whittaker[4], Perfect Software--And Other Illusions about Testing by Gerald M. Weinberg[5] and Lessons Learned in Software Testing by Cem Kaner, James Marcus Bach, Bret Pettichord[6].<br>


<br>Anybody else has other recommendations?<br><br>Željko<br>--<br>1: <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Pair_programming_for_fun_and_profit#July" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Pair_programming_for_fun_and_profit#July</a><br>
