" summary

A practical report on Ruby testing claims a large Puppet Labs suite grows to almost 9,000 tests (likely over 10,000 with all platforms) and is tuned so it runs in about a minute, making developer feedback immediate. Tool comparisons name Test::Unit, RSpec, minitest, bacon and bear_test, with minitest and bacon 200x faster in benchmarks. The guiding principle is that a good test gives fast focused feedback and fast suites actually get run.
