Here it is at last: my first Top 100 of Software Testing Blogs. For those who would like to read more on Software Testing and QA, I created a list with 100 of the best - or at least most popular - Software Testing Blogs in the world. This should definitely give you enough reading!I ordered this list by gathering several metrics of each blog, to be more precise: the Google Pagerank, Alexa Popularity, Technorati Authority, number of comments and number of sites linking to it.(Note: Not all statistics were available for each blog. Where a statistic was missing, the blog in question simply scored 'neutral' for that statistic). You can read the algorythm I used to rank the blogs at noop.nl. Many of the results were gathered automatically using my Pagerank Checking script.
Enjoy the list and please let me know which blogs I forgot!
Edit: Meanwhile some kind people have submitted blogs which I did not take into account when I created this list. They will be included in future updates.
Test Side Story from Zeger van Hese would have been number 70.
Quality Perspectives from Lynn McKee would have been number 107.
Unimagined Testing from Nancy Kelln would have been number 90.
Software Testing Genius from Yogindernath would have been number 66.
Rob Kuijt's Testing Blog from Rob Kuijt would have been number 51.

Great list! Do you have an OPML file for easier import into my feed reader?

Thanks for compiling this list. Its going to be useful for many software testers!
It would be interesting to know the criteria you chose for selecting the blogs in the top 100 list and also how you ranked them.

Hi Jürgen,
Creating an OPML file sounds like a great idea!
I didn't note the rss feed url's when composing the list, so I'll have to get to work first before composing the OPML file :-) I'll put it on my to-do list!
Hi,
great list :) What have been the criteria to enter that list, before they were ranked? I was hoping to find our blog, especially the agile testing category, linked:
http://blog.codecentric.de
Thanks,
Andreas Ebbert-Karroum
Hi Andreas,
The criteria were:
- a blog related to software testing,
- not a 100% technical blog (for them I would like to create a separate list in the future)
- being noticed during my quest for blogs in the past weeks.
I'll write down your blog for the future "Test Automation Blogs" list.
thanks for the share
Hi Allmas,
I wrote down the criteria in my previous comment. To rank the blogs I applied the procedure which Jurgen Appelo wrote down in his article "How to make a top blog list": http://www.noop.nl/how-to-make-a-top-blog-list.html
Regards
Hey! Thanks for this list,and i am in the list too :)

Hi, this is really cool, thanks for the list and the research you did, You can make another one next year, I'll try to be ranked higher that year ;)
Great list! Now trying to find time to read all the posts :-)
I think you forgot to mention one great blog on Software Testing: http://www.softwaretestinggenius.com by Yogindernath
I have been following this blog for almost a year now and I am really impressed by the quality of the posts he has published. I would definitely like this blog to be included in the above list.
Thanks, Steven!

Great post, lots of really wonderful blogs in that list.
Thanks for putting it together.
thanks for the work in putting this together
Nice to see I made the list and I can set a target of getting into the top 50 next time
Great list! Thanks for all you work on pulling this together! Looks like I have a LOT of reading to do! :)
I was wondering if the following two blogs were considered for the list. They are fairly new but I'm curious as to how they would have ranked!
http://www.qualityperspectives.ca/blog/
http://www.unimaginedtesting.ca/blog/
Hi Nancy,
The 2 blogs you mentioned were not on the list for consideration. It looks like my research was not complete :-)
Quality Perspectives would have been number 107.
Unimagined Testing would have been number 90.
I added them at the bottom of the post. I'll take them into account next time. Good luck!
Did you consider rob kuijt's blog?
http://www.robkuijt.nl/
Hi Thomas,
The Testing blog from Rob Kuijt was not considered for the list, but it would have been number 51.
If server issues hadn't killed 80% of my traffic since January, I keep wondering how I would've fared :)
hi do you have a list of blogs about software testing focused on Selenium testing? thanks.
Good list. Do include my blog on Software Testing & QA. Its at http://www.techmanageronline.com
Thanks!
Thanks, Steven!
My blog has been moved to http://strazzere.blogspot.com/

It is one fine list of software testing blogs. I would surely be reading these blogs to increase my software testing knowledge.
Thanks for the effort involved. For future reference, in case you weren't aware of it when you compiled the list, Rex Black (ISTQB past president) also has a blog about issues in software testing on his website.

Great post idea, but some of the blogs are no longer updated...
Very original post!
Its really fantast list of blogs here....Thanks buddy
Great list! - yet I find it odd that not a single one of the blogs are focused on Model-Based Testing. I'd like to make up for that, so please swing by:
http://appmbt.blogspot.com/
If you are interested in Model-Based Testing
http://www.testingbaires.com, is another blog about software testing from Argentina - Buenos Aires.
Thanks for this great list. You might want to consider http://softwaretestingfundamentals.com/ as well.
Thanks for the tip!Been looking for blogs, now you helped me find them :)

Hola! disculpa que escriba en español. Que blog me recomendarías si recién comienzo mi carrera de testing? Un saludo desde Uruguay!!
Great list and yes i agree some of the blogs are no longer updated
Useful list. However maybe you could check teh correcteness of the links listed above. For example, the following two links don't work:
http://bwrk.startya.com/http://blogs.stpcollaborative.com/matt
http://www.satisfice.com/kaner/
Check teh entire list and/or correct it.
Thanks in advance!
