The video starts out by explaining that if statements like this one might be a sign of bad design, and that this piece of code will probably grow over time and become an eyesore. While I don’t think the possibility of something growing over time and becoming an eyesore sometime in the...

I’m a little behind on my blog feeds, so I didn’t read Collective Idea ’s article about json_spec until yesterday. They created a gem which provides some RSpec matchers and Cucumber steps to do JSON API testing, since “They can be a joy to build but a pain to test”. In this article, I...
In January of this year, @nvie published “A successful Git branching model” , in which he explained how he keeps his Git repositories nice and tidy. In addition to that, he released git-flow ; a bunch of Git extensions to make following this model extremely easy. I’m astounded that so...

help you speed up your test runs by preloading your application’s dependencies and running your test suite without reloading the whole stack each time. That sounds like magic, but it’s actually quite simple to build a tool that can do something like that. In this article, we’ll write ...
The problem we have here is that code you’re working on is unstable and can’t be trusted, which means you can’t really use it to test anything either. That’s testing broken code with broken code and it can get very confusing very fast.
