What is ruby-minitest
ruby-minitest is:
minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking.
minitest/unit is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework. It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and readable.
minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto minitest/unit and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec expectations.
minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb co-worker doesn’t replace your linear algorithm with an exponential one!
minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock object framework.
minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test output.
minitest/unit is meant to have a clean implementation for language implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case discovery. Task: ubuntu-budgie-desktop Ruby-Versions: all
