Question

If you could only subscribe to one testing blog, what would it be? How would you describe the typical content of the blog?

Guidelines:

1. By all means, please feel free to suggest your own blog.
2. Please provide more detail than "I think it's really good" so that people seeing your recommendation will get a sense for whether it might be a good fit for their interests - (Agile-centric? Great for new testers? Context-driven? Eclectic and brilliant? Incendiary? Funny? Focused on Exploratory Testing and the exploits and antics of his favorite rugby team?)
3. If you have 3 equally favorite blogs, please post 3 different answers so people can vote on each independently.

If you have a list of your favorite bloggers, please answer this other question.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I like Michael Bolton's site, DevelopSense. If I read only one it would be his @

http://developsense.com/

Michael posts often, writes well, and often comes at things with a fresh perspective. He usually doesn't get too technical which I like.

Answer 2

My favorite blog to read is Linda Wilkinson (http://www.practicalqa.com) for well-written semi-controversial posts. She so often eloquently phrases things I've been trying to say for years.

Answer 3

I recommend Vijay's blog. To my mind, this blog should be useful for beginners in software testing.

Information about various areas of testing, certification, automation tools and other stuff.

Answer 4

Why only one? ("What's your favourite Beatle album?" "What book would you bring to a desert island?")

Answer 5

My favorite testing blogger/newsgroup participant/Article Author is Matt Heusser.

http://xndev.blogspot.com/

Very thoughtful guy.

Answer 6

definitely testingReflections http://testingreflections.com/

It contains original postings from some great testers, and also aggregates other testing related blog posts. If you could only visit one place, this would give you a ton of info on all things Testing/QA

Answer 7

This is a tough one - testing is a broad, broad profession, and the "best" will depend on the individual.

I recommend Abakas (http://blog.abakas.com/) to many testers due to the (mostly) daily frequency and the quality of posts.
