Change-Based Test Management: Improving the Software Validation Process

Where would any of us be today without the World Wide Web? Intel Corporation is a company based in the hardware world, so as a software validation team, we have spent a lot of time researching various methodologies and applying hardware-centric validation methodologies to software. There are several good books on the topic as well as a wealth of information on the Internet. First we have listed the works cited in the book, followed by a list of software testing resources we have come across during our years of testing.
