Hello champs, I have been using ROR from last 6 months so i do not have any too much ideas about writing test cases. Upto now i have been writing test cases manually … i mean with assert\_statements only… But now i want to switch myself to testing tool… ? Can any champs light me up with urls, books or names of tools… Thanks in advance… Cheers … ---
