""A fantastic type-along-with-me introduction to a powerful scripting language that starts in the shallows and then moves into the depths turning the reader into an accomplished Ruby scripter, almost without them noticing it!""--Erik Petersen, Emprove ""Finally a hands-on book that is filled with gems of wisdom for the testing community.""--Gunjan Doshi, VP of Product Development and Process Excellence, Community Connect, Inc ""What a wondrous collection of recipes, guidelines, warnings, comprehensive examples, metaphors, exercises, and questions! It's a terrific value to software testing practitioners who want to get the most from their test automation effort.""--Grigori Melnik, Lecturer, University of Calgary

Reseña del editor

Are you a tester who spends more time manually creating complex test data than using it? A business analyst who seemingly went to college all those years so you can spend your days copying data from reports into spreadsheets? A programmer who can't finish each day's task without having to scan through version control system output, looking for the file you want?

If so, you're wasting that computer on your desk. Offload the drudgery to where it belongs, and free yourself to do what you should be doing: thinking. All you need is a scripting language (free!), this book (cheap!), and the dedication to work through the examples and exercises.

Everyday Scripting with Ruby is divided into four parts. In the first, you'll learn the basics of the Ruby scripting language. In the second, you'll see how to create scripts in a steady, controlled way using test-driven design. The third part is about finding, understanding, and using the work of others--and about preparing your scripts for others to use. The fourth part, more advanced, is about saving even more time by using application frameworks.
