Protest, the simplicity rebel test framework

require "protest"

Protest.describe("A user") do
  setup do
    @user = User.new(:name => "John Doe", :email => "john@example.org")
  end

  it "has a name" do
    assert_equal "John Doe", @user.name
  end

  it "has an email" do
    assert_equal "john@example.org", @user.email
  end
end

Protest is a small, simple, and easy-to-extend testing framework for ruby. It was written as a replacement for Test::Unit, given how awful its code is, and how difficult it is to extend in order to add new features.

I believe in minimalistic software, which is easily understood, easy to test, and specially, easy to extend for third parties. That’s where I’m aiming with Protest.

Protest-rails brings the simplicity of Protest into the Rails world.

Disclaimer

Currently I am not using Protest heavily in any complex Rails app, so Protest-rails is not as tested and supported as vanilla Protest is.
