I’ve search google and the ruby kitchen sink… I’ve also hunted around
various book stores, and it seems like TDD documentation is primarily
found
for java. Can someone point me to something like Chris P.'s newbie
guide
to get me started with tests?

I’m not sure how helpful this will be, but I did make a screencast
doing Test Driven Development:

I make a few mistakes in there and I’m actually trying to show off
some TextMate features, but maybe the general premise will help.

Wow… and just like that I’m sold on TextMate. That’s infinitely better
than SciTE.

Currently the best source on testing is “Everyday Scripting with Ruby
for Teams, Testers, and You”
by Brian M… This book is published by The Pragmatic Programmers.
It also teaches Ruby programming.
This is an hands-on book … you work on 4 projects along with the
author.

But its not a How-to-TDD book (or a learn WATIR book, or a learn
Selenium book).
It does lay the foundations for the core practical skills involved in
TDD. It also
concentrates a lot on the satellite activities involved in testing,
like automating
laborious activities like report generation, or inserting testbed data,
that are
not actual testcases themselves.

I haven’t fully read through it, but there have only ever been 2 books
that
I wanted to follow through at the example by example level - one is the
Agile 2nd ed book. And the other is Brian M.'s book.
I am thinking of making tutorials based around his activities too, so I
can
train up our QAs. And that means that I need to be intimate with what he
writes so I can structure the training.

Very nice. I’m starting to grok now why testing is handy. Thanks!

Thanks for the links below!

This tutorial was very simple, easy to understand. Rspec is my
friend. 
I’m still working my way through this.
Ran across this one a while back and it helped keep my interest in
TDD.

I had also watched James’ screencast, well worth it.
