With software becoming increasingly complex seemingly by the day, developers are constantly seeking out improved methodologies for rapidly producing quality, error-free code. Recently, this has led many to join the agile software development movement, which defines an approach to producing better software faster. Paramount to this movement is a rigorous approach to testing software as it is being developed rather than after. Simultaneously, this same quest for efficiency has prompted many to adopt the Ruby language and its popular Rails framework as their primary language. Agile Testing with Ruby and Rails shows you how to bring these phenomena together to ramp up your development efficacy to new heights. You'll not only learn why agile testing approaches such as test- driven development, continuous integration, and behaviour- driven development are important, but also how to go about incorporating these procedures into your applications using testing frameworks.
