Top 23 Ruby Testing Projects
-
faker
A library for generating fake data such as names, addresses, and phone numbers. (by faker-ruby)
rspec-rails factory_bot_rails faker
-
I am going to use a browser based testing tool called Playwright (But you could use Capybara, or Selenium WebDriver etc.).
-
InfluxDB
Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.
-
factory_bot: A fixtures replacement
-
vcr
Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests.
Basically, it's a record/replay tool, similar to VCR for Ruby, but on steroids and powered by AI (khm GPT khm).
-
If you want to check out an alternative to VCR, have a look at webmock.
-
-
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.
Project mention: What questions do you consider important for a Ruby on Rails technical interview? | /r/rails | 2022-12-05vs https://github.com/travisjeffery/timecop yes it's true and i am happy to show everybody that they don't need timecop in rails test suite anymore.
-
Onboard AI
Learn any GitHub repo in 59 seconds. Onboard AI learns any GitHub repo in minutes and lets you chat with it to locate functionality, understand different parts, and generate new code. Use it for free at www.getonboard.dev.
-
-
minitest
minitest provides a complete suite of testing facilities supporting TDD, BDD, mocking, and benchmarking.
I forgot to mention that reading code is also a good way to learn how to write code, it's like inspiration. Check repos of some gems you like. For example sidekiq https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/tree/main/lib/sidekiq Or minitest https://github.com/minitest/minitest/tree/master/lib/minitest
-
Database Cleaner
Strategies for cleaning databases in Ruby. Can be used to ensure a clean state for testing.

test-kitchen
Test Kitchen is an integration tool for developing and testing infrastructure code and software on isolated target platforms
-
You might be able to do something with https://test-prof.evilmartians.io, but I'm not sure it has anything specific to fixtures out of the box. Maybe using the event profiler on sql.active_record events would be close enough. In the limit, you could wire together your own ActiveSupport::Notifications.instrument around the relevant blocks + an ActiveSupport::Notifications.subscribe to that event so as to log the relevant information. Docs: https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Notifications.html

Spork
A DRb server for testing frameworks (RSpec / Cucumber currently) that forks before each run to ensure a clean testing state.
-
-
If you are used to Mocha for other languages, you can check out Mimic. It lets you define stubs and expectations during tests by keeping track of the stubbed module in an ETS table.

Project mention: Tanakai 1.6.0 (web scraping gem) has been released with support to Ruby 3+ | /r/ruby | 2023-02-16
