Working with National Instruments TestStand on a daily basis you would think that I would be a rails testing guru, but alas thats not the case. I’m hopelessly behind the curve again, like a rocker mom from the 70’s telling their kids how to be cool, I just started using rspec. More shocking however is that I have been doing all my testing by hand, going to the ruby files and running the tests in textmate with Cmd + R. What I should have been doing was using the Autotest plugin. AutoTest works like this, it monitors your test files and when you make a change it runs your tests on a file commit automatically so you don’t have to. You can even configure it with growl so red or green icons flash depending on a pass fail condition…really cool stuff.
