Testing Gems in Your Ruby apps with Steve Hodges
Channel: Indy.rb
Date: 21/01/2019

We Rubyists tend to include lots of open-source gems in our projects. How do we responsibly use them and keep our production apps from breaking? In this quick Ruby Jam, Steve covers how he tests to make using gems safer and upgrading them cleaner, and how gem authors can help.

Steve has been writing Ruby since 2011, and writes (and relies on) tests daily. He's written web applications for money since the dark days of PHP 3.x. He enjoys solving problems, improving craftsmanship, mentoring, and tacos.
