Rails Test Prescriptions: Keeping your Application healthy is now on sale. This is a beta, partial release.
Rails Test Prescriptions is a comprehensive guide to testing your Rails application, covering both the mechanics of writing tests and the style for writing good and useful tests.
I’m excited to be publishing this electronically in a way that allows me to keep the book up to date as Rails changes over the upcoming months and years. Your $9 purchase entitles you to all updated versions for the life of the book.
