Greg Donald has been a professional software engineer since 1996 and has worked with Ruby on Rails since 2006. Prior to that, he worked on many Perl and PHP projects, often finding the lack of tests made them hard to maintain and extend. After having seen the results of software written using different testing methods, he became a test driven development enthusiast and practitioner, determining no other method would ever be more successful in producing quality software than TDD. He decided to write this book to promote TDD and share his positive experiences using it.
