I am often asked for some of my favorite testing books. Here they are. I list these at the risk of offending some of my friends who have written other books. These are not the only books I like, just the ones at the top of my list.
 | A Practitioner's Guide to Software Test Design by Lee Copeland I like this book because Lee does a great job in explaining many of the classic test design techniques, as well as the newer ones. It's an enjoyable read. |
 | Software Testing, 2nd Ed. by Ron Patton This is a great book for new testers, although any tester will find it very helpful. |
 | Testing Computer Software, 2nd Ed. by Kaner, Falk and Nguyen This is the bestselling testing book of all time. It has a lot of great ways to test software. |
 | Effective Methods for Software Testing, 3rd Ed. by William Perry Some people love it, others don't. I like this book because it has many templates and examples. It's not the type of book you read from front to back, but is a great reference book for testers. |
 | Surviving the Top Ten Challenges of Software Testing by William Perry and Randall Rice Yeah, I had to put my own book on the list. Over the years people have told me about how much it has helped them, so I put it on the list. |
 | Software Test Automation by Graham and Fewster This is my favorite book on test automation. Lots of good information here. |
