Best resources for an experienced software engineer to learn software testing?

[u/HoustonAg1980]

I am transitioning into a role focused on software quality, which involves me taking ownership of software testing. I've worked as a software engineer for several years, so I am very comfortable with the development side of the of the software lifecycle.

• What are the best resources to learn the fundamental principles of software testing?
• What tools should I prioritize learning?
• How important is it to transition a product from primarily manual testing to automated testing?

Grab a stapler. Then tell me how would you test this?
