Software Testing, Agile Development and Product Management by Daniel Knott
Time flies, my book Hands-On Mobile App Testing was published in the printed edition one year ago. Since then so many people wrote me via mail, twitter, facebook, XING or LinkedIn that they like the book and that they found it really useful. This kind of feedback feels really good and makes me happy.
In June last year I posted the following picture on twitter after I received a huge box of books :).
The 62nd issue of my reading recommendations includes 6 very interesting blog posts with various topics.

Enjoy reading the posts and send me new ones that are worth reading and I will mention you and link to your social links or blog.
