In plain words

CrashBreak is a Ruby tool that captures exceptions occurring in applications and converts them into failing unit tests. Developers use it to quickly turn production errors into reproducible test cases, helping identify and fix bugs more efficiently. The tool bridges the gap between discovering exceptions in the wild and writing proper test coverage by automating the test creation process from actual failures.

    Hello HN, I introduce a property-based testing tool for Ruby. Ruby's ease of test-writing and rich ecosystem are widely acclaimed. However, property-based testing is not as widely used as in other languages such as Haskell or Elixir, and I think this is because there is no de facto testing tool. This gem currently not only has the basic functionality of stateless property-based testing but also has the following features: - Support verbose mode that allows you to see its shrinking procedure and algorithms. - Support several concurrency/parallel executions of each test. As of now,…

    Hey all, I've been working on this side project to get a Cypress.io-like experience, but for Ruby developers. It's plug-n-play with Capybara system tests, with the following features: - visualize assertions/commands as they happen - view all API requests, errors, and logs in the timeline - pause/continue on any step - rewind through history with a recorded video This is brand new, so looking for people to start trying it out and leave feedback.
