I have gone through this book http://www.compendiumdev.co.uk/selenium/ which is excellent and I highly recommend it to everyone! I was wondering if there is a similar book/tutorial with a Ruby focus that anyone would recommend?

  • Are you specifically looking for Selenium + Ruby or just want to learn more Ruby ?

  • This is definitely what they're looking for. I have yet to find a better intro/tutorial to writing to Webdriver/SE with Ruby. Great recommendation.

I would highly recommend Cucumber & Cheese (A Testers Workshop) by Jeff Morgan.

  • @moorecats: watir-webdriver Ruby gem is just an API over selenium-webdriver Ruby gem.

I recommend Selenium Design Patterns and Best Practices. Great book for learning Selenium and Ruby, and what is even more important for learning best test automation practices along the way.

I know this post is a few years old but I wanted to bring up another option.

My company bought a copy of the ruby version of The Selenium GuideBook by Dave Haeffner, who also does the Elemental Selenium Tips newsletter. The book costs about $60 but is very much worth it. I've gone through the book a few times, using the code examples and I love it. Got me up and running using Selenium WebDriver using Ruby and RSpec doing automated acceptance tests.
