Today ZenTest crossed one thousand downloads!

The latest release of ZenTest contains zentest, Test::Rails and the incredibly cool (and my personal favorites) unit_diff and autotest.

ZenTest is my secret weapon for speedy, bug free development. autotest keeps me focused by intelligently rerunning my tests as I modify my code while unit_diff lets me easily decipher my failures. Test::Rails provides me a rich assertion library that makes writing tests for my Rails applications a breeze.

I’m not the only person who loves ZenTest though, Sean Carley first fell in love with unit_diff then took the step of integrating ZenTest with emacs while working with Pat Eyler doing Ping-Pong Pairing on their secret project.
