Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby (Pragmatic Programmers) By Ian Dees Publisher: Pragmatic Bookshelf Number Of Pages: 192 Publication Date: 2008-08-15 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1934356182 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781934356180 Binding: Paperback Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby is a practical, quick-moving tutorial based on real life, and real-world GUI applications. Right out of the gate you’ll start working with code to drive a desktop GUI. You’ll discover the kinds of gotchas and edge cases that don’t exist in simple, toy programs. As you add more tests, you’ll learn how to organize your test code and write lucid examples. The result is a series of “smoke tests” team will run on Continuous Integration servers. Next, we’ll explore a variety of different testing tips and tricks. You’ll employ a series of increasingly random and punishing test monkeys to try to crash programs. Table-driven techniques will show you how to check dozens of different input combinations. See how to use longer acceptance tests (in the form of stories) to represent the way a typical customer would use your program. The book uses examples from Windows, OS X, and cross-platform Java desktop programs as well as Web applications. You’ll develop test scripts in Ruby; you don’t need to be a Ruby expert, but basic comfort with the language will be helpful.
