Everyday Scripting with Ruby: For Teams, Testers, and Youby Brian Marick
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Are you a tester who doesn't get enough time to actually test? Do you spend your time configuring machines, wrestling with bug-reporting systems, manually creating complex test data, and repeating the same manual tests you've run a hundred times before? 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 two parts: Talking the Talk and Walking the Walk. In the first, you'll learn the Ruby scripting language and the overall craft of scripting. In the second, you'll see how that knowledge can be applied to solve common testing problems. You'll also see how to cope with common mistakes. You'll see how to recover from blind alleys and how to recognize and fix your own scripting. You'll even see examples of the most common typos, so that you'll recognize the symptoms when you see them. The second part of the book shows finished scripts, ready to use and deploy for testing as well as other common rote tasks (you'll find still more projects on the book's web site, www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/bmsft). Book News Annotation:Marick draws on his experience as a programmer and tester in creating
a hands-on text for testers, business analysts, and programmers.
Coverage includes an overview of the basics of Ruby and basics of
scripting; how to write scripts in a steady, controlled way using
test-driven design; how to leverage existing scripts and save time
with application frameworks in your job; how to handle common
mistakes and typos; and how to communicate more efficiently and
effectively with teammates. The text includes a glossary and
solutions to the exercises. Marick has authored and co-authored two
previous texts on software testing and software development.

Synopsis:Readers will be introduced to the Ruby scripting language and the overall craft of scripting in this reference. Common typos, finished scripts ready to use and deploy for testing and other common rote tasks are included. Synopsis: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?

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. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
