✦ Synopsis

Testing was once regarded as a separate and unique discipline within the overallsoftware development process. The reality today is that a growing number ofprojects are spreading the responsibility of testing among more members of theteam. In other words, testing is no longer limited to testers. This new bookintroduces Fit: a proven, effective, and powerful open source framework forautomating the software testing process. Fit (Framework for IntegratedTesting) is vendor-independent and widely praised for its practicality. Eachteaching point of Fit is backed up by supremely useful examples, and RickMugridge and Ward Cunningham (the founder of Fit) offer advice on how tomake Fit digestible to all members of a development team. The result is a costefficientframework that will allow organizations to deliver better software in amore timely fashion.
