For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Ruby testing with RSpec - a new example

If you're wanting to test your Ruby classes, I recommend writing a test suite using RSpec - fresh example from today's course [here].

* Write the tests first - that's "test driven development" and then write the code to ensure that all the tests pass.

* If you find fault in you code later, add another test to illustrate the fault and then correct it; running all the RSpec tests again wil ensure you haven't broken anything

* RSpec takes care of test set up, break down, checking and reporting - it's a complete test anagement system so that all you need to do is run the one enclsing program and if everything's good'll just be given a brief summary. Failures will be reported in an undestadable format.

* RSpec can be used with Selenium and / or watir-webdrivers to allow you to test a web site via Firefox or another browser - no need to sit there for hours to check that web site changes haven't damaged anything.

* Gherkin and Cucumber can also be used with RSpec to allow you to use those tools to define your system's behaviour prior for testing.
