brain and arms, comfortable socks, and/or Easter Island then attending
this talk might be a really enjoyable or loathsome experience. Michael

Over the last 5 years, Rails apps have increased in size, complexity, and value provided to businesses. A few years back all we had to do was customize some generated code and sprinkle on a bit of AJAX, and the rapid pace of development meant that we could launch products and add features way faster than our competitors could.

We all know that Rails is made of Tasty Burgers, but what are those Tasty
Burgers made from? We're going to take a look inside the bun to discover
what makes up Rails, how the software gets to our plate, and how we can
improve it. We'll discuss some of the lower level libraries used to make up
Rails, and what makes them tick. Better Ingredients, Better Burgers.
Guaranteed.

What started out as regression tests for the scenarios contained in a book has turned out to be an invaluable tool for reducing regressions in Rails itself and verifying that Rails runs on new versions of Ruby. The results of this work may be of use to others that wish to document scenarios involving Rails and/or system testing their own applications.

Tools like Cucumber encourage driving new pieces of functionality through tests which cut through the entire Rails web stack, including the database. As a consequence these Acceptance tests can be quite slow. This leaves us in a dichotomy, you want to keep adding new features to your product and you want to maintain rapid test feedback. Somethings got to give. So how do we scale Acceptance tests?
