Testing is an ingrained part of the Ruby culture. The standard Ruby distribution has been shipping with an automated unit testing framework for years. With the release and adoption of Ruby on Rails, the excitement around automated testing has reached fever pitch.

This full day tutorial will take you from the basics of automated unit testing through the bleeding edge of Ruby and Rails testing. Topics covered will include:

• Test::Unit basics
• A demonstration of what everyday TDD looks like
• Testing Rails applications with the built-in Rails test types
• Mocking and stubbing with the FlexMock framework
• Test organization and layout
• Introduction to RSpec and Behavior Driven Development
• Techniques for managing sample/test data
• In-browser testing with Selenium on Rails

100% of the tutorial fees will be donated to charity.
