+title: "Now in Beta: Effective Testing with RSpec 3"
+author: Myron Marston
+---
+
+Six years ago, [The RSpec Book](https://pragprog.com/book/achbd/the-rspec-book)
+introduced thousands of people to RSpec and helped them get the most out of the
+framework. Since that time, RSpec has continued to evolve. RSpec 3 brought many
+changes to help developers build and test better Ruby programs. The RSpec Book,
+now quite out of date, does not cover these changes.  Readers have been
+asking: _is there going to be a new book?_
+
+In fact, [Ian Dees](https://twitter.com/undees) and I have been hard at work on
+a brand new book for over two years. Ian brings with him a wealth of experience
+from using RSpec since 2006. He has a keen ability to translate technical
+concepts into easy-to-read, enjoyable books, such as the PragProg titles [Seven
+More Languages in Seven
+Weeks](https://pragprog.com/book/7lang/seven-more-languages-in-seven-weeks) and
+[Cucumber Recipes](https://pragprog.com/book/dhwcr/cucumber-recipes).
+
+I've been the lead maintainer of RSpec since 2012.  I've built many of RSpec's
+notable additions in recent years, including composable matchers, the `--bisect`
+and `--only-failures` options, and the `:aggregate_failures` features. Together,
+we've written a book we're very proud of, and we're happy to announce it is now in beta:

+  </a>
+</div>
+
+We've written [Effective Testing with RSpec 3: Build Ruby Apps with
+Confidence](https://pragprog.com/book/rspec3/effective-testing-with-rspec-3) to
+be _the_ definitive guide to modern RSpec. If you're new to RSpec, it's a
+perfect introduction. If you've used RSpec before, but haven't kept up with the
+recent changes, this book will get you up to speed, covering new features through
+the soon-to-released RSpec 3.6.
+
+Our book goes far beyond the RSpec documentation, walking through
+building a real-world JSON API and then diving deep into each part
+of RSpec. The theme of _effective testing_--using practices to get
+more _value_ out of your specs than the cost of writing them--is woven
+throughout.
+
+If you're interested in the book, you can purchase the beta eBook now!
