An OReilly ShortCut describing TestDrivenDevelopment for AjaxWebApplications, using RubyOnRails.

• http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510657/
• "Test Driven Ajax (on Rails)"

The paper shows how to write an Ajax website using these new assertions:

• assert_xml - check that HTML is XHTML and parsable
• assert_xpath - parse XHTML and extract specific details
• assert_js - parse JavaScript (without Regexp!) for details
• assert_ajax - run assertions when an Ajax command completes

The paper shows how to grow a test runner in a web page. It tests a target website inside an IFRAME.
