The Author
Count me as one of the people who started writing automated tests after
reading
Kent Beck's early JUnit articles.
One of the immediate attractions of Rails was its support for test-first
design and automated testing in general. I'm very excited to document
Rails testing support and practice.
I actually didn't notice this until I was well along writing this book, but
I've worked on three programming books so far, and in all three of them the
section on testing was my favorite:
-
Jython Essentials
was, I think, the only printed reference
to PyUnit for quite some time.
-
The chapter that includes testing in
wxPython in Action
was one
of the few additions I made to the existing outline when I joined that
project.
-
I looked forward to writing the chapter on testing in
Professional Ruby on Rails
even before I started writing the book.
