I’ll introduce the books I read to learn about software testing and QA engineering.

Background: Forming a QA Team

Since we’re forming a new QA team, I read several books to gain knowledge about software testing and QA engineering so I could have conversations with QA engineers.

List of Books I Read

Below is a list of books I read to gain knowledge about software testing and QA engineering. I plan to share specific learnings in individual articles in the future.

マンガでわかるソフトウェアテスト入門 テスターちゃん Vol.1 / Introduction to Software Testing with Manga: Tester-chan Vol.1

I recommend this as an introductory book for those completely new to software testing. Software engineers can skip this book.

→ マンガでわかるソフトウェアテスト入門 テスターちゃん Vol.1 - 松谷峰生 (著)

知識ゼロから学ぶソフトウェアテスト 【改訂版】 / Learning Software Testing from Zero Knowledge [Revised Edition]

I recommend this as the first book for software engineers to systematically learn about software testing.

→ Learning Software Testing from Zero Knowledge [Revised Edition] E-book (Juichi Takahashi) | Shoeisha Books → Learning Software Testing from Zero Knowledge Revised Edition: Software Testing in the Agile and Cloud Era - Juichi Takahashi (Author)

That’s all from the Gemba, where I devoted myself to reading to learn about software testing and QA engineering.
