Curated list of awesome lists
List of Free Software Testing Resources
Introduction
This page collects resources for anyone considering the use of software testing and formal methods.
There are many axes along which one can organize such a list, such as the level of expertise of the intended audience (from experts to the public at large) or disciplinary orientation (computer science, mathematics, mathematical logic, etc.). Here I have chosen to classify the material by type of subject matter.
If you would like add something, just send the text as you would like it to appear to [email protected], preferrably already formatted in markdown.
