Rails Testing Handbook Available for Kindle

In April, the Rails Testing Handbook, a free ebook designed to guide developers in writing tests and practicing Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) for sustainable Rails applications, was officially released. The handbook emphasizes the BDD approach, which integrates analyzing, testing, coding, and design in a concise feedback loop to enhance software quality and reduce errors. The creators, who have applied BDD in developing their CI/CD product, Semaphore, aim to share their expertise with tutorials covering various open-source languages, including Ruby. The handbook includes practical insights on adopting a BDD mindset, setting up essential tools like RSpec and Cucumber, developing features through the red-green-refactor cycle, and collaborating via pull requests and continuous integration. While the Kindle version is available for $1.19 due to Amazon's pricing policies, the profits are donated to Rails Girls, and a free PDF version is offered alongside additional Ruby-related resources. Feedback is encouraged through comments or email, with discussions available via their Discord channel.
