Summary This presentation gives an introduction to the principles and practices of BDD and shows how make plain text User Stories executable with RSpec's Story Framework. The framework itself is written in Ruby, but it can run against production code written in any programming language. Bio Aslak Hellesøy is the Chief Scientist of BEKK Consulting in Norway, and worked for ThoughtWorks be...

Dingus is a mocking/stubbing library I've been working on for about a year. It grew out of a now-defunct project's test suite, and I've used it in about 3,500 lines of unit test code. It does two things that are pretty novel: A dingus allows you to do almost anything to it, including nesting accesses arbitrarily deep. If you have a dingus d, you can say 99 * (d.foo.bar.baz() ** 'hello')[15] and...

Cucumber is a BDD tool that aids in outside-in development by executing plain-text features/stories as automated acceptance tests. Written in conjunction with the stakeholder, these Cucumber “features” clearly articulate business value and also serve as a practical guide throughout the development process: by explicitly outlining the expected outcomes of various scenarios developers...

TourBus is an app that does web testing on real-world servers. It combines the flexibility and expressiveness of a functional web test suite, the statefulness and intelligence of a regression test suite, and the concurrency of a load/stress/bench suite. In short, it can test your web application from end to end, and it can do it 100 times at once concurrently. Imagine if someone harnessed the p...

Test-driven design is probably more popular in the Ruby community than in other language communities. Nevertheless, test-driven design of graphical user interfaces is still seen as something of a black art. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how to test-drive a Mac GUI, using either RubyCocoa or MacRuby. I’ll concentrate on opening a File Chooser, then move to drag-and-drop (if there&rs...

This session covers how Hashrocket, an experienced Ruby on Rails consultancy, uses a wide range of real-world testing techniques and agile methodologies every day to satisfy client customer requirements.

Note: This project has been open-sourced under the name Google C++ Mocking Framework, and the project's homepage is http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/Mock objects make unit testing easier and more effective. They cut code dependencies, make the tests fast and robust, make the test intent clear, and enable developers to easily test the interaction between components.While an invaluable techniq...

Summary In this interview filmed during RubyFringe 2008, Luke Francl explains his position towards testing. While supporting unit testing, he thinks testing is not going to reveal all application defects. Development teams should also practice code reviews and usability tests which are likely to discover bugs not visible though other methods. Bio Luke Francl is a developer at Slantwise Design (...
