Shoulda
by Tammer Saleh, Thoughtbot, Inc.
http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda
== DESCRIPTION:
The Shoulda gem makes it easy to write elegant, understandable, and maintainable tests. Shoulda consists of test macros, assertions, and helpers added on to the Test::Unit framework. It's fully compatible with your existing tests, and requires no retooling to use. Should also comes with a complimentary Rails plugin, available here - http://thoughtbot.com/projects/shoulda
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* wrap your tests in nested context blocks to keep them readable and dry
* write test names in english, not with_a_bunch_of_underscores
* fully compatible with your existing Test::Unit tests
* makes writing test macros simple as pie
== SYNOPSIS:
class UserTest << Test::Unit
context "A User instance" do
setup do
@user = User.find(:first)
end
should "return its full name" do
assert_equal 'John Doe', @user.full_name
end
context "with a profile" do
setup do
@user.profile = Profile.find(:first)
end
should "return true when sent #has_profile?" do
assert @user.has_profile?
end
end
end
end
