Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
How do we tell minitest/spec which test class to use? The tldr is to use the minitest-rails gem. I highly recommend adding the minitest-rails gem to your project. The gem does a lot to integrate the Rails testing ecosystem with Minitest, particularly spec-style tests. One primary benefit is that it configures specs to use ActiveSupport::TestCase or one of its subclasses as the spec’s test class, depending on what is passed describe.

Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
In this part, we’ll set up our testing environment so that we can test our Rails API using minitest with minitest/spec. We’ll look at the differences between traditional style unit tests and spec-style tests, or specs. I’ll demonstrate why you should use minitest-rails. We’ll look at using rack-test for testing our API. We’ll even create our own generator to generate API specs.

Application-as-a-Function Thinking
The "app-as-function" has some very concrete applications though, even outside languages like Haskell. The [rack-test](https://github.com/rack/rack-test) gem (and similar languages) work exactly like this: they run the "app" part without the "web server" part to enable much easier testing. Rack middlewares similarly treat the enclosed app as just a function taking some specified input and returning some output value.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing minitest-rails and rack-test you can also consider the following projects:
faker - A library for generating fake data such as names, addresses, and phone numbers.
timecop - A gem providing "time travel", "time freezing", and "time acceleration" capabilities, making it simple to test time-dependent code. It provides a unified method to mock Time.now, Date.today, and DateTime.now in a single call.
rspec-rails - RSpec for Rails 6+
http4k - The Functional toolkit for Kotlin HTTP applications. http4k provides a simple and uniform way to serve, consume, and test HTTP services.
