A minimal implementation of integration testing within RSpec. Allows you to build sequential specs, each with a description, but where state is maintained between tests and before/after actions are only triggered at the beginning and end of the entire sequence. Cool things you can do with this: * Build multi-step user stories in plain RSpec syntax. Locate the point of failure quickly, and break up large integrations into sensible steps * Speed up groups of related tests by running your factories only once before the whole group.

A corundum is a synthetic gemstone - including synthetic rubies. Ergo: a tool for synthesizing gems. Corundum starts with the outlook that gemspecs are relatively easy to work with, and that the opinion of the RubyGems team is that they should be treated as a configuration file, not a code file. Furthermore, Rake is a powerful, easy to use tool, and does admit the use of Ruby code to get the job done. The hard part about publishing gems is getting them into a state you'll be proud of. There's dozens of fiddly steps to putting together a gem fit for public consumption, and it's very easy to get some of them wrong. Corundum is a collection of Rake tasklibs, therefore, that will perform the entire process of releasing gems, including QA steps up front through packaging and releasing the gem

If Rake won't do it by itself, you oughtta Mattock. If you survived the pun, you might enjoy this gem. Features: * Extensions to Tasklibs to support powerful deerpaths. * A commandline library that supports mocking for tests. * A module to support common templating patterns

Like Vagrant? Missing AWS? Here you go. Limited Rakefiles to do something like that.

Debugging toolbar for Rack applications implemented as middleware. Rails 3 compatible version maintained by Logical Reality Design.

Middleware for Rack and Sidekiq to scale heroku. A heroku process knows everything it needs in order to scale itself. A little configuration, and you're set.

Defines a formatter that emits a vim script to mark up code with coverage data: refactor in deluded confidence!

I don't like Cucumber. I don't need plain text stories. My clients either read code or don't read any test documents, so Cucumber is mostly useless to me. But often, especially in full integration tests, it would be nice to have steps in a test.

Valise provides an API for accessing configuration and data files for your application, including the population of default values, and managing search paths. Written to encourage a cross-platform approach to maintaining configs for an application.

Guesses the natural language of a text sample based on bloom filter matches of words in the text. Fast, reasonably accurate.
