Help for a beginner

[savitha]

Hi,

I am starting my career in software testing.
Could some one give me URLs of resources on the Internet that will help me learn testing.
Also a list of free software I can use for testing.
My particular fields of interest are.

1. Usability Testing
2. Application Security Testing
3. Application Perfomance Testing

Also on how to test

The ISO 9126-1 software quality model identifies 6 main quality characteristics, namely:

Functionality
Reliability
Usability
Efficiency
Maintainability
Portability

Thank you so much

My firm use Squash TM. An opensource test management tool.

The community around it is pretty active with a lot of new releases. It is the first part of an opensource software suite.

In the next months, Squash TM will be connected to its brother Squash TA, a automation test framework.

You may visit the website which is pretty well done.

I hope you find the good tool for your needs.
