To get the most out of this book

There are two ways to read this book.

The first is to use it as a reference when you are faced with specific testing challenges. Use the index to find what you're after and move to that page.

The second, and the one I'd recommend starting with, is to follow the walk-throughs step by step, building your own code base as you go along. In this section, I'll detail how to do that.

You will need to be at least a little proficient with Git: a basic understanding of the branch, checkout, clone, commit, diff, and merge commands should be sufficient.
