A Bible for Software Testing?

An anonymous reader asks: "I'm soon to be starting a position in software testing and wondered (well hoped) if Slashdot readers had recommendations for reading, in terms of dealing with testing from the trenches and management of the process. I've read a number of general software engineering texts, but what I'm looking for is a specific 'bible' on software testing that will get me in the right mindset, before I begin."

Automation can save significant amounts of time and money if the project:

• Has a large enough number of regressions to make the expense of automating less than the cost of all of the regressions.
• Has APIs and/or UIs that are stable enough over the project (and hopefully across versions) to allow the automation to work without lots of maintenance.
• Has management and development behind the automation effort so that time is properly allocated and dev understands the needs of QA.
