Reading List
InfoQ's research widget has been deprecated. It should continue to work however, and we hope to relaunch it at some point in the future.
Rails developers can draw from a huge pool of libraries to build their applications. Dozens of options are available just for templating: do you use ERB, HAML, SASS, or do you prefer a JavaScript approach with Backbone.js or Knockout.js? The possibilities are endless, so we want to find out what our readers are using, or planning to use in the future.
In a first step (RFP), we asked you for suggestions. We received many answers, and after asking about deployment and management and frontend we now ask about testing. On the x-axis, you can show us what you’re using right now, or what you’ve moved away from and what you plan to adopt next. The y-axis indicates how valuable you think the specific technology or library is.
Here are the options:
- Capybara: acceptance test framework for web applications
- Jasmine: BDD framework for JavaScript
- RSpec: BDD for Ruby
- Shoulda: makes your Ruby tests more readable
- Spork: testing server for your Rails tests
- Minitest: provides a complete suite of testing facilities (TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking)
- Bacon: small RSpec clone
- Riot: fast and contextual unit testing framework
