Estimated reading time is 1 minute.
I’ve talked with people several times on how to get started on testing, test automation and Ruby, so I’ve decided to document it. It is mostly influenced by how I have learned it. It was years ago, so other resources might be available now.
Testing
Both books are short but highly recommended.
- Perfect Software And Other Illusions About Testing by Gerald M. Weinberg
- Lessons Learned in Software Testing by Cem Kaner, James Bach and Bret Pettichord
Ruby
- Everyday Scripting with Ruby by Brian Marick - highly recommended.
- Programming Ruby by Dave Thomas, with Chad Fowler and Andy Hunt - I have probably read the first or the second edition, or both. A very good introduction to the language.
Test automation
- Cucumber & Cheese by Jeff Morgan - opinionated but very good book on how to set up test automation project.
- The Selenium Guidebook by Dave Haeffner - I have not read it (yet), but I have found myself frequently visiting related newsletter archive.
