<blockquote>
<p>A curated list of testing software, extensions and resources</p>
</blockquote>
<h2 id="foreword">Foreword</h2>
<p>This is intended to be a curation of resources for the new among the
software testing community. It is not tailored to a specific area
(Usability/Performance) or role (Automation/Management). The idea is
that you could hand this list to a CS graduate and it would greatly
improve their testing skills, efficiency and overall breadth of
knowledge. Note that this is for all areas of software testing after the
code in question is written (no unit tests/static analysis!).</p>
<p>Finally, I’m sure everyone who reads this list has one thing they
want to add. Please read the <a
href="https://github.com/TheJambo/awesome-testing/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">How
to Contribute</a> page and add to the list. :)</p>
