Questions tagged [shoulda]

Shoulda, developed by thoughtbot, provides constructs for organizing Test::Unit tests and matchers for testing Ruby on Rails applications that work with Test::Unit or RSpec.

Shoulda organizes Test::Unit tests into a collection of nested contexts with support for setup and teardown blocks and should clauses. Shoulda also provides matchers for testing Ruby on Rails applications that work with Test::Unit, Minitest or RSpec.

Along with shoulda, thoughtbot provides many many other community libraries.
