Question about "The way of the webtester book"

[Albareto McKenzie]

First of all welcome to the Ranch

My question is, is the book oriented to UI testing or is it API focused? Do you sepcifically explain something about certain frameworks/libraries (if yes, which ones?)

Thanks!
Cheers

Hi Albareto,

The book consists of roughly four sections.

1. UI testing.
2. API testing.
3. Unit testing.
4. Other stuff (programming, test organization, framework and language, TDD).

It's not a book about libraries. It's more a book on technique. My goal here wasn't to teach anyone a particular library. It was to teach how to test, so the library wouldn't matter.

We use Ruby on Rails, RSpec, and Capybara. But it's not a book on those technologies. It's a book for testers who want to get into automation, and understand how testing frameworks work. And for programmers who want to get better at testing, with automation saving them a lot of time and making them more valuable to their teams.

Thanks for asking, Jonathan
