Good book on testing for a dev?

Question

Hi,

As a developer, we are required to test our code to some extent to find bugs (destructive/negative testing mainly, and unit tests). What is a good book that covers the level of testing a developer has to do and the best way to do it/best practises? The book can briefly list the types of testing a dev doesn't usually do (e.g. load testing), but preferably not in much detail as the focus should be on the testing required to be done by a dev (As that's what I want to build up on etc...).

Many Thanks

Code Complete has a good chapter called Developer Testing. This is a good overview and does briefly list the types of testing we should do.

I'm not sure it covers load-testing, but as load-testing is application (or at least technology) specific, it's probably worth detailing the kind of load-testing you're interested in.

As unit-testing is the most common type of testing we do it's probably worth having a look at The Art of Unit Testing
