    Excellent content but too disjointed., 2008-07-01 Comment: - There is a lot of excellent stuff in here.
- It gets 5 stars for content, pragmatism and opinions voiced.
- But the way it was delivered was too fragmented for my taste.
- For one thing, I've been unable to find the source download.
- It could do with integration with something like Maven 2 to make sure you get the right versions of jars for all the third party software they talk about.
- Doing a dry run through a broken project, writing test scripts and fixing things up to reinforce the material covered would help cement an understanding and give you a better overall appreciation of things as a whole, leaving you with useful stuff you could apply on a real project.
-At the same time they could have provided source for an Ajax version of TestNG reporting they eluded was easy to setup, but too complex to convey in book.
- Perhaps Cedric could put together a Webcast to this effect?
-Overall this book covers a lot of ground, too much at breakneck speed for me, hence the reduced rating.
- For example, I'd have liked to have seen the topic on Selenium RC fleshed out some more.
- Also there was brief coverage of Abbot. I think Fest seems to have taken it's place and this could have been covered instead.
