"Test Driving Rails is a concise yet incredibly complete guide to the patterns and tools we use to effectively test our Ruby on Rails applications, ensuring that our software does exactly what we said it would, every time we make a change."

"An excellent resource for anyone aiming to master the default Rails testing framework – Minitest and fixtures."

The book is designed for Rails beginners and professionals alike, but basic knowledge of Rails is assumed. Previous experience with Minitest or fixtures is not required.

Minitest is seemlesly integrated with Rails from the get-go. You don't need to update your gemfile or think about specific features when they come out.

This book talks exclusively about building test data with Rails fixtures. They are fast and reusable datasets for different tasks across development, test, and production.
