SummaryIf you began this chapter with the idea that testing and debugging were necessary evils or distractions that get in the way of real development, I hope your perspective has been altered a bit. Testing and debugging are essential, core disciplines in the practice of programming. For many developers, the surprise is that having well-thought-out strategies for testing and debugging doesn't just increase the quality of their software; it actually speeds up development as well. In the next chapter, we'll discuss web application security and the techniques for building rock-solid Ajax on Rails applications. |
