Introduction

Unit testing is a method by which we can isolate and test a unit functionality of the program, typically individual methods before, during and long after the code is written. Unit testing frameworks provides us with constructs and methodologies which simplifies the process of unit testing. This chapter walks through three different unit testing frameworks available for Ruby, explains how to use them with examples, and compares them with one another. The three commonly used unit testing frameworks for ruby are

  1. Test::Unit
  2. Shoulda
  3. RSpec
