Everyday Scripting with Ruby: For Teams, Testers & You
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.
