In the sphere of software testing[1], self-development and self-education are two essential aspects of a successful career. Make no headway means to be on the downward path. Every employee of a software testing company tries to always improve and develop his skills and abilities as without doing that he will not be competitive at the labor market.

One of the ways to broaden skills is to read the books relevant to the main domain. Nowadays, the agile methodology is rather wide-spread. So, here are several books that will help to get more about agile testing.
