One of my "go-to" places for QA information outside the realm of my current experience is StickyMinds.com. The amount of information available for free is staggering, and it's always good to see how others view the profession.

Earlier today I was reading an article on StickyMinds by George Wilson, Operations Director of Original Software, called The Reality of Software Testing in an Agile Environment: Ten QA Myths Blown Apart. Mr. Wilson contrasts Test Driven Development with standard QA testing practices, making the case that TDD does not make the QA group obsolete (a point I agree with wholeheartedly). He makes a good case for QA and test automation, and I think it's worth a read. Check it out.
