Some articles of interest are published in IEEE Software and other periodicals. I am in the commercial application area, not academics. Most aritcles are published by academics, and while they are very interesting, I cannot apply the techniques they describe on my budget and time-table. IEEE is trying to get more publications from people in industry. So, if you get some good feedback, please post a summary. > > Commercial information is available from Software Quality Engineering. The > document is called: Testing Tools Reference Guide. I have this Guide. It covers a broad range of tools. It is essentially a catalog, not a book to read with the intention of learning more about testing techniques etc. -- Windflower Gilbert
