My QA group is looking into automating testing. Our company has a standard tool that we will be using but I was looking for recommendations for books on Automated Testing (not for a specific tool) for use as reference. Has anyone found any one particular book helpful? We are at the beginning stages so we would like something that isn't too complex. Thanks!------------------

As a non-biased tester, I can personally vouch that Elfriede's book (apologies if name is misspelt!) is very informative and a useful companion for automated testing.Not that I am saying anyone IS biased...  ------------------

I actually have and read Dustin's "Automated Software Testing" as well as Fewsters "Software test Automation", but as someone who has incorporated successful automation frameworks at two companies, I say hands down the most useful book was Hayes' "Automation Testing Handbook". The book has no fluff.
The book gives you a definitive template to build from.
The information can be readily adapted to any envrionment. Just my 2 cents. -Russ
