ZenTest provides 4 different tools and 1 library: zentest, unit_diff, autotest, multiruby, and Test::Rails.

ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit.

unit_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong.

autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests.

multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great for compatibility checking!

Test::Rails helps you build industrial-strength Rails code.

Changes:

3.8.0 / 2008-01-12

• 10 minor enhancements:

  • Added basic support for rubinius in multiruby.
  • Changed Dunno! message to only output on -v
  • Added Getting Started with Autotest by Philippe Hanrigou (with permission)
  • Updated exampledotautotest.rb for newer plugins.
  • Cleaned up rdoc.
  • Worked with David Chelimsky to make Autotest more uber for subclasses.
  • Removed exceptions and test_mappings accessors and replaced with add/remove/clear methods. Updating .autotest should be very straightforward.
  • Moved :initialize hook to beginning of run method
  • Changed load/customization order to be:
  • Autotest
  • AutotestSubClass
  • ~/.autotest
  • ./.autotest (yes, both .autotest files).
  • Moved away from using instance variables to encourage subclasses to use accessors.
