"I hate browser testing. Did I fix the problems? No. I started writing opinionated software though, because my opinion should matter. I wrote it in Ruby because I know Ruby."
- sgrove 15y agoHmm, that's not really a considered review. Straight off, no on at Sauce Labs hates browser testing, that's just a stupid thing to posit. Test::Right is a really cool mental model of testing, and it's going to make people's lives better. Robust tests, parallelism, immediate cross-browser compatibility (this is an issue people without a lot of experience don't really understand), a lot of cool shit. I love the promise that if I write my tests in this pattern/framework, my tests will always be good. It's not there yet, but it's still damned cool. We also have several volunteers who're excited to port this to other languages, but we started with ruby because it's a fertile playground, and the important piece here is the pattern, not the language/framework itself. It'll end up being the flagship browser testing framework de facto, but that's not the goal here. I played a big part in putting some pieces of Test::Right together, full disclosure.

- santi 15y agoJust because you know something sucks doesn't mean you inherently hate it. The US soccer team sucks bad (yes, you all know that) and not because of that, most of you Americans have to hate them, huh?
- JonnieCache 15y ago"ruby ... it's a fertile playground" I like this a lot.
- cwp 15y agoAFAICT, the whole point of Test::Right is precisely to fix the problems. As for opinion, well, if anybody is qualified to have an opinion about browser testing, it's the folks at Sauce.
