Best book for testing

Rails
1

Hello,
i want to buy a book for TTD. I am between “The cucumber
bookhttp://pragprog.com/book/hwcuc/the-cucumber-book”
and the “The Rspec book http://pragprog.com/book/achbd/the-rspec-book”
from pragmatic programmers.

Which of these 2 are the best? Any other suggestion??
I am new to testing…

Thank you for your time!

I would suggest another book: Everyday Rails Testing with… by Aaron Sumner [PDF/iPad/Kindle] -
This is especially interesting for the Rails context, which I missed
somewhat in the Rspec book, it starts to explain BDD of plain Ruby
classes and objects.

Apart from this, I recently discovered that the Gem RSpec-rails is
nicely documented in BDD style too on Github, e.g. a controller spec
looks like:

If you want to get familiar with TDD I suggest going for the Rspec Book,
since Rspec and Cucumber serve different purposes(Rspec for TDD and
Cucumber for BDD). Also, if going for Rspec go ahead and take a look at
code school(http://www.codeschool.com/), they’ve just released a course
on
Testing with Rspec which is pretty cool.

Hope this helps and Best regards =D
