• Two Ruby gems
  • rwebspec-webdriver – Executable functional specification for web applications in RSpec syntax and Selenium-WebDriver

  • Putting it all together
• Another three-parter on Is the Cost of Continuous Integration Worth the Value on Your Program? – part 1, part 2, part 3
• 31 Days of Testing – in 23 parts (though I expect the series will finish after CodeMash)

• Pulling Jenkins’ strings with Puppet looks like a way of managing Jenkins instances through puppet — which is darn cool.
• Given When Then is a BDD tool for Node.js which does its post-conversion-magic runs using WebDriver (please stop calling it Selenium 2!) and Sauce Labs
• Selenium Utility Funcs is a list of python helpers (with slightly friendlier names) for WebDriver
• Converting Gems shows a neat trick for converting ruby gems into .deb files so they can be installed and managed via apt
• Since we all care about the web, Move the Web Forward – You love web standards. You want to give back to the community. Curious about where to start?
