PragDave show us an interesting new library for doing testing. I've been doing tons of TDD (Test Driven Development) lately, either that or writing the tests right after I write the code, and I've found that it makes my life much better. What I find lacking though is that the reports of what fails in the tests is a bit lacking, the way that Ruby on Rails gives the whole call stack is sometimes hard to parse.
Integration tests though are much harder, and I find myself having to frequently consult the test.log file to figure out what went wrong. There must be a better way to do integration testing.
In my next big project, the Orchive, I plan to do things right, I think it's going to be RESTful, and I'm going to think hard to make a beautiful API.
