Spork
summary
Claims a tool called Spork that preloads the app and then runs tests in a forked process so the loaded state never corrupts, avoiding the Rails constant-unloading failures seen with spec server. It shows how pre-fork and each_run blocks separate one-time loading from per-invocation setup, supports RSpec and Cucumber, and demos a real improvement—with a sleep-5 helper startup dropping from about 7.8s to 0.8s—so the prototype actually works.
