30,656 Pages of Books About the .NET Ecosystem: C#, Blazor, ASP.NET, & T-SQL
I am very comfortable with Minitest in Ruby. When I started to learn Rails, though, I was surprised by how different RSpec was. In case .NET testing is equally unlike the xUnit style, I should learn the idioms.

Adding Jest To Explainer.js
I'm a huge supporter for TDD(Test Driven Development). Almost every piece code should be tested. During my co-op more than half of the time I spent writing test for my PR. I believe that experience really helped me understand the necessity of testing. I was surprised to see how similar the testing framework in JS and Ruby are. I used Jest which is very similar to RSpec I have used during my co-op. To mock http resquest I used Nock kinda similar to something called VCR.

Is the VCR plugged in? Common Sense Troubleshooting For Web Devs
5. Automated Tests: Unit tests are automated tests that verify the behavior of a small unit of code in isolation. I like to write unit tests for every bug reported by a user. This way, I can reproduce the bug in a controlled environment and verify that the fix works as expected and that we wont see a regression. There are many different JavaScript test frameworks like Jest, cypress, mocha, and jasmine. We use Rspec and Minitest for unit and integration tests in our rails application.

Bootstrapping with Ruby on Rails Generators and Templates
There is also Thoughtbot's Suspenders, which inspired me to dig deeper into Rails generators and templates. I even wrote my own application template — Schienenzeppelin — which, while not up-to-date, might still provide some inspiration.
