Designed for software developers who need to automate cycles for agile projects in order to meet shorter deadlines, this guide explains all of the open source tools for Python without the need for language-specific processes. McGugan, an independent software developer, emphasizes the integration of all Python development tools and fills in the information gaps that exist in current agile development guides. The author provides step-by- step instructions for subverting code, creating a framework for testing purposes, developing unit-testing techniques using "imposters," gathering feedback from the system and co-workers and conducting tests on the web.
