 "I had a class with Jim Weirich on testing last week and we were
 allowed to choose our testing frameworks. Kirk Haines and I were
 paired up and we cracked open the code for a few test
 frameworks...
 .
 I MUST say that minitest is *very* readable / understandable
 compared to the 'other two' options we looked at. Nicely done and
 thank you for helping us keep our mental sanity."

 .
 minitest/test is a small and incredibly fast unit testing framework.
 It provides a rich set of assertions to make your tests clean and
 readable.
 .
 minitest/spec is a functionally complete spec engine. It hooks onto
 minitest/test and seamlessly bridges test assertions over to spec
 expectations.
 .
 minitest/benchmark is an awesome way to assert the performance of your
 algorithms in a repeatable manner. Now you can assert that your newb
 co-worker doesn't replace your linear algorithm with an exponential
 one!
 .
 minitest/mock by Steven Baker, is a beautifully tiny mock (and stub)
 object framework.
 .
 minitest/pride shows pride in testing and adds coloring to your test
 output. I guess it is an example of how to write IO pipes too. :P
 .
 minitest/test is meant to have a clean implementation for language
 implementors that need a minimal set of methods to bootstrap a working
 test suite. For example, there is no magic involved for test-case
 discovery.
 .
 "Again, I can't praise enough the idea of a testing/specing
 framework that I can actually read in full in one sitting!"

 Comparing to rspec:
 .
 rspec is a testing DSL. minitest is ruby.

 -- Adam Hawkins, "Bow Before MiniTest"
 .
 minitest doesn't reinvent anything that ruby already provides, like:
 classes, modules, inheritance, methods. This means you only have to
 learn ruby to use minitest and all of your regular OO practices like
 extract-method refactorings still apply.
