Writing test code in Ruby on Rails

Mike and I spent the last week adding all the test code we ignored while implementing the alpha. We set out to make every Friday “testing and code clean-up day” but that seemed to fall by the wayside after the first week so now we are really paying the price. A lot of the code we deployed ended up not working properly and I haven’t been able to get my family to try things out yet. We still have more test code to write but we are getting closer, thankfully everything works again. Hopefully, we’ve learned our lesson and will be writing test code as soon as we add new features. Like everyone else we started out with the best intentions but then our desire for new features got the better of us. Sound familiar? Anyway, the test/clean-up slog should be done this weekend so we can start adding new funcionality again.
