Hi Brahmini and thanks for the report, I have added it to the list[1].

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.

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.

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].

Anybody else has other recommendations?
