The Software Test Engineer's Handbook
There are a lot of books around covering functional testing techniques, but relatively few cover both functional and technical testing. This book will fill that gap.

This book brings both functional and technical aspects of testing into a coherent whole, which will benefit not only test analyst/engineers but also test managers. Based on the "Certified Tester" Advanced-Level syllabus issued by the ISTQB in 2007, the book covers everything you will need to know to successfully sit the examinations for Test Analyst and Technical Test Analyst.
