The tester who understands how systems work, who can use simple test harnesses in the developers native IDE, who can pair with developers to improve unit tests, and who can assist in the process of "root causing" bugs is no longer an anomaly that companies don't know how to utilize; he or she is a treasure who is explicitly sought out.

There are many ways to learn about software testing, including reading books and articles, attending training classes, listening to webcasts and hands-on work in the field.
