At the end of October 2008 I invited my readers to send me their favorite Automated Software Testing blogs.I would like to thank those readers who shared most interesting and useful blogs.
Great job, dear colleagues! :)
As a result, I'm glad to introduce the final list of Top 40 Automated Testing Blogs.
I sorted these blogs on the basis of:
- PageRank (PR) - Google's view of the importance of a pag. The bigger, the better.
- AlexaRank (AR) - Alexa's range of a site based on a traffic.The lower, the better.
- TechnoratiRank (TR) - position of the blog among all Technorati blogs. The lower, the better.
- Comments (Cmts) - number of comments for all articles posted during previous 3 months (Aug, Sep, Oct 2008). The bigger, the better.
- Incoming links (Links) - number calculated by Yahoo Site Explorer. The bigger, the better.

Actually, it's not easy to assess skills of QTP consultants. There aren't such 'magic' numbers :)
Hi Motevich,
Really done a good job. Now all the knowledge at a single place:)

This is like the BCS of Test Automation, but I will stop short of calling for a playoff system.

Thank you, Will.
