Dear all,
I joined a pretty young VC company a month ago. We are using
ruby/merb/datamapper/MySQL, and doing agile development. We use rspec
for unit tests. Now we want to start writing integration tests. For this
I found out the existence of rbehave (Dan N. et al.) and Story Runner
(David C.). I also discovered cucumber as a successor to Story
Runner. But I can find very little on rbehave, and its development seems
to have stopped in 2006. Is there any concensus on the best tools for
integration testing in ruby?
Best regards, Gernot H.

“A few days ago, David C. announced that RSpec’s Story Runner
now works with the rspec_on_rails plugin. Story Runner is the result
of Dan N.'s hard work to merge his rbehave project into RSpec. This
gives us the ability to write acceptance tests using RSpec’s
expressive expectations. In addition, Story Runner provides a
structure for your stories (acceptance tests) that helps clearly
express the assumptions and expectations of your code.”

I must say though, reading over all this stuff, I think you all are
suffering from an over abundance of time and brain cells --K.I.S.S.
seems to have become old-fashioned.

Thank you, yes, I found this entry in my searchd but did not notice the
merging of rbehave (mea culpa …). I’ll take a look at the screencast
later. OK, I am happy to use RSpec with its, um, integrated integration
test.
I also agree on KISS being absent, but I think that with team work, many
“stakeholders”, incremental development and gradual concretization of
modules and functionality, things that automate tests (if only for
regression) are very valuable. For instance, we have hudson running
continuous build tests at 5 minute intervals… the brains I guess
comes from a) implementing a maintanable automatic framework, and b)
writing sane tests.
