About the Book

If you've read my blog for the last few years, you've probably read everything here already (although without some much needed editing). This is a collection of blog posts from my blog - rearranged, edited and polished (a bit) and put into an ebook.

The book is free if you want - or you can pay (all proceeds go to the American cancer society). I just wanted to gather my thoughts on test automation in one place and share somewhere - and leanpub has been a fantastic tool in this trip.

I'll update the book as needed (including edits, as well as expansion on ideas if/when requested).
