"The unit tests for my calendar use QUnit, but they really use just three functions: test, expect and ok. This article shows you how to integrate unit tests into your WordPress plugin, where to write unit tests and how they can help you."

You can *test* Wordpress? Wow. Who knew?

Cucumber documentation (covers Sinatra and other non-Rails frameworks)

I use RSpec in all my projects. It’s really hard to overemphasize how helpful it is and how much easier becomes your life if you have good specs coverage. But its outstanding flexibility enables many ways to make your specs awful: horribly slow, over-bloated, even non-readable sometimes. I do not want to teach you BDD and RSpec here, but instead I will give you some ideas how to improve your specs quality and increase efficiency of your BDD workflow.

"Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing your JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests."

"We’ll cover how to set up Xcode to use three different unit testing frameworks:
OCUnit, which is the unit testing framework built into Xcode
GHUnit, which is a third party framework with some extra cool features
OCMock, which helps you write mock objects to aid tricky testing scenarios"

"I just finished a short-term iOS project where I used TDD (Test Driven Development) techniques to good advantage. I know I ended up with a cleaner design and better code than I would have otherwise.

I am not a TDD expert, nor am I a TDD purist, but I wanted to share my experience and lessons learned while it was fresh. Hopefully this will encourage other developers to add more testing to their development diet."

"We will explore TDD in this tutorial by developing a simple iPhone app that plays Tic-Tac-Toe. Because our focus is on TDD, we will spend most of our time learning how to think in a “test first” manner."

Additional step needed to get OCMock running properly with XCode4

Unfortunately there are not enough examples out there on how to test view controllers with the iPhone SDK. My hope is to remedy that a bit by sharing some techniques I have been using to tackle the problem, particularly in keeping with the spirit of TDD along the way.

"I have been writing tests around my iPhone apps’ view controllers in order to follow the same TDD practices we use in other environments. Writing tests first has changed the way I structure my code in a couple of ways which I think offer immediate and emergent benefits for my applications. Most of an iPhone application’s business logic is implemented in its view controllers. Testing those controllers is therefore a priority if I want to have a well tested application.
Below are some examples of the sort of tests I have written for my view controllers using GTM, Hamcrest, and OCMock (our iPhone Unit Testing Toolkit). Hopefully this can serve as a starting point for the tests you could be writing for your own projects.

Instructions for adding GHUnit testing framework to iOS apps.

"Today we’re happy to announce KIF, the “Keep It Functional” framework. KIF allows for realistic iOS integration testing through simulated user interaction. We developed KIF to meet a few goals:

KIF requires minimal setup to run a test suite
KIF lets you develop your tests in the same language as the rest of your code to minimize learning and adaptation layers
KIF can be easily extended to fit your needs
KIF works in continuous integration (CI) setups"

Tutorial/guide for Ruby testing with Minitest

"derailed_duke ~ now test any website using cucumber as an independent testing utility"

Here at Blazing Cloud we really like Test-Driven Development (TDD). We try to use it for all of our development projects, and we recently learned how to do it for IPhone development.

This is a Quick Start Guide that shows how to get you started with Acceptance Test Driven Development for the iPhone, using UISpec.

UISpec is a Behavior Driven Development framework for the iPhone that provides a full automated testing solution that drives the actual iPhone UI. It is modeled after the very popular RSpec for Ruby, where you express executable examples of the expected behavior of your code.

"RSpec is a great tool in the behavior driven design process of writing human readable specifications that direct and validate the development of your application. Follows some guidelines, taken from the literature resources and from our experience."

"Everyone was psyched when Nick Kallen’s has_finder plugin was added to Rails as named_scope. They’re powerful, particularly when chaining.

One disadvantage is that they are so easy to create, people want their tests to be equally concise, which is often impossible.

Two related “testing named scopes” questions have come up recently on the thoughtbot training mailing list and the shoulda mailing list."

"Here are some of the testing related tips I use while working on Spree"

"...Back when Steak was first released, Capybara didn’t have any of the nice RSpec helpers it does now. A lot has changed since. Besides the helpers, it got its own RSpec acceptance testing DSL recently, essentially eating Steak’s functionality and turning it into a complete acceptance testing solution (on top of RSpec)."

While building our new website, we decided to protect the admin using a really simple way: we can only access it signing in with Twitter. There are already some blog posts and documentation about using Devise, Omniauth, Twitter and Cucumber, but I couldn't find anything that really fitted my needs.

Here at PlataformaTec we like to use Capybara for acceptance tests. Recently we have discovered the custom selectors feature in Capybara and we would like to share with you how that feature helped us to improve our tests.

Subtleties of user stories

"This is a basic introduction to integration testing with cucumber. In it, I describe how to use cucumber and rspec to implement a feature in a web application, emphasizing the importance of writing tests before code, which is often referred to as TDD (test-driven development) or BDD (behavior-driven development, a refinement of the original TDD)."

Autotest makes your coding session even more productive as it automatically runs a subset of your test suite each time you change a file. Autotest is smart – it figures out which subset to run based on the files you’ve changed. Think of it as Continuous Testing.

Autotest source code is well-documented (rdoc) but finding a high level overview online is a little more challenging. This article will get you up and running in no time, so that you may concentrate on writing code. Let’s get Started!

BDD-style testing using Objective-C

The Ruby Koans walk you along the path to enlightenment in order to learn Ruby. The goal is to learn the Ruby language, syntax, structure, and some common functions and libraries. We also teach you culture. Testing is not just something we pay lip service to, but something we live. It is essential in your quest to learn and do great things in the language.

In our team we use Pivotal Tracker to track the features of our amazing people search tool called Sociotoco Search. We're using Pivotal Tracker because it's free.

And it's simple.

And it looks good.

And it's actually quite usable.
