Dunno if this is the best sub-forum to use, but it's the best I can think of.
I've just finished uni. When I was on my 1 year work placement, I started shadowing the tester there and learning a lot from him. Since then, the company expanded, new positions opened up, he became a senior and they wanted a junior, and they offered me the job, so naturally I accepted.
Now I'm in a real position, not just a student on placement, I want to learn about the field, not just the bits and bobs I need to use in my job. My uni course didn't teach me a single thing about testing or maintaining code.
Can anyone recommend any articles or books to get me started? I guess what I want first is a book that's equivalent to Software Engineering by Iain Sommerville, but for testing.
