Emphasizing that testing is a human activity, this book describes how learning to write good test scripts can aid in the process. The first half leads the reader through building a test script for a real-world application--a notepad-like text editor called LockNote (the author admits he thought it was much more useful than a non-existent pet store project). Readers are able to choose to implement the examples using Windows or a cross-platform Java environment. The remaining chapters explore other topics related to GUI testing, such as introducing randomness and the business of test monkeys, matrix testing with the Ruby libraries ZenTest and RubyFIT, testing GUIs of web apps with Selenium, using Story Runner (a new plain text tool for writing user interface tests), and testing on a Mac.
