Hi Mushafique, This is not really the right forum to ask that question since it is not really related to Canoo Webtest.
*Here are some general pointers *re testing and automation (apologies if not all links work - copied from an internal wiki): ======================================================================================== Videos - mostly at a level suitable for trainee tester onwards: - Proving Our Worth: Quantifying the Value of Testing by Lee Copeland<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=114463176347297820&q=testing&hl=en> - Becoming a Software Testing Expert by James Bach<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6852841264192883219> - Agile Testing by Elisabeth Hendrickson<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3054974855576235846&q=testing&hl=en> Just google software testing video or something like that and you should get lots of hits.
