I have read a lot of programming books, many mention testing of various kinds. I have never really gotten into the topic of testing, but I realize how extremely important it is. Anyone know of some good books that provide a thorough exploration of this topic?

A: 

The book I use in my testing class is Software Testing and Analysis: Process, Principles and Techniques by Mauro Pezze and Michal Young.

A: 

If you are a developer rather than a tester I recommend looking into Steve McConnell's Code Complete, it has a couple of chapters about testing from a developer's perspective. From through glass box unit testing to integration testing.

I'd say it's a great starting point.

Lessons Learned in Software Testing is my favorite book on the topic.

This is an excellent book on Testing, from a Tester's (rather than a Developer's) perspective.

A: 

The materials at http://www.testingeducation.org/BBST/ are pretty good to get a tester's perspective on testing -

I can second Lessons Learned, although it's less about technique. Lee Copeland's "A practitioner's guide to software test design" has a lot of good stuff on test modelling. I also like Weinberg/Gause's "Exploring Requirements: Quality Before Design" for a book that gives a lot of practical techniques for getting to the heart of quality and what matters.
