mutant
Mutation testing for Ruby. AI writes your code. AI writes your tests. But who tests the tests?
-
undercover
undercover warns about methods, classes and blocks that were changed without tests, to help you easily find untested code and reduce the number of bugs. It does so by analysing data from git diffs, code structure and SimpleCov coverage reports

RSpec Tracer
RSpec Tracer is a specs dependency analyzer, flaky-test detector, test accelerator, and coverage reporter for RSpec. It records the inputs every example consumes — Ruby files (via `Coverage`), file I/O (via prepended `File` / `IO` / `YAML` / `JSON` hooks), Rails template + AR notifications, and user-declared globs — then re-runs only the examples whose inputs changed since the last run. It never skips: - **Failed**, **flaky**, or **pending** examples. - Examples whose dependent inputs changed (
Project mention: Skip the RSpec examples you don't need: rspec-tracer 2.0 in pre-release | dev.to | 2026-05-07This is the problem rspec-tracer solves. Cold run of a suite: everything runs. Second run with no edits: nothing runs. Edit one file: only the examples that depend on that file re-run.
