Terrific book on a terrific testing concept

This book does a terrific job of making the value case for exploring and implementing FIT/Fitnesse in your software development projects. I've been really intrigued by the tools for some time now and was very happy to get a copy of this book.

The layout of this book is as unique as FIT/Fitnesse are themselves. The book's first half is targeted to business analysts and customers who team together to write up the stories for the system. The second half targets developers who will write the fixtures to tie the tables to the system. The stories and use cases are all well-done and, unlike too many other books, are on real-world situations.

There are detailed descriptions of the various fixtures supported by FIT with good examples of when you'd want to use them. The different parts of the book tie together perfectly in that the story is covered in the beginning and the developer-related sections later in the book amplify on the foundation laid earlier. I also like the Q&A portions scattered throughout the book.

The book's tone and style compliment the approach of the book, keeping it light and easy to read while laying out the immense value of FIT.
