Ian Dees on Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby

Jackie Carter interviews Ian Dees, author of "Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby" Ian talks about using automation in support of GUI testing, and describes how automation allows you to do things you couldn't do before. Frustrated with proprietary, difficult scripting languages, or fragile, coordinate-based systems, Ian describes how GUI testing with Ruby is such a pleasure. Ian's new book gives you the actual techniques to take control of this window or that drop-down list--without hard-coded data. Ian describes his use of rSpec, randomized and matrix testing, writing stories for testing, and more.
