[QUOTE="Brian Candler, post: 4635264"]
I'm afraid I'm missing something. Why is this better than

assert_equal 42, ultimate.answer, "name"
?

Hear hear to that!

Well, it would be nice to know what those 2 methods calls were, and
their semantics, without reverse-engineering the code. Are these
Testy.testing and Result#check ?

I did find the gem, and installed it, but the generated rdoc is entirely
free of comments or explanation.

The two samples don't really help me understand why testy is good or how
to use it effectively, since they are both more verbose that what I
would have written in test/unit to get the same result.

How would I do something equivalent to these?

assert_raises(RuntimeError) { somecode }

assert_match /error/i, response.body

I think I'd also miss the ability to have setup and teardown before each
test (something which 'shoulda' makes very simple and effective).

Please don't get me wrong - I'm absolutely interested in something which
will make testing simpler and easier, if I can understand how to use it
effectively.

Regards,

Brian.
