(Notes for a Viget article I'm putting together)

  • Most importantly: give you confidence to make changes
  • You need proper end-to-end testing
    • Set up your data (fresh per test)
    • Visit a page
    • Interact with it
    • Make assertions about the results
  • Put complex logic into easily testable objects/functions
  • Create stub objects to stand in for network calls
  • Avoid over-stubbing/mocking
  • Coverage
    • We shoot for 100% in SimpleCov (So all the Ruby is tested)
    • Some consider this too high or too burdensome -- I don't
    • Occasionally you have to ignore some code -- e.g. something that only runs in production
