fast_xs provides C extensions for escaping text. The original String#fast_xs method is based on the xchar code by Sam Ruby: * http://intertwingly.net/stories/2005/09/28/xchar.rb * http://intertwingly.net/blog/2005/09/28/XML-Cleansing _why also packages an older version with Hpricot (patches submitted). The version here should be compatible with the latest version of Hpricot code. Ruby on Rails will automatically use String#fast_xs from either Hpricot or this gem version with the bundled Builder package. String#fast_xs is an almost exact translation of Sam Ruby's original implementation (String#to_xs), but it does escape """ (which is an optional, but all parsers are able ot handle it. XML::Builder as packaged in Rails 2.0 will be automatically use String#fast_xs instead of String#to_xs available.

Hunting down random test failures can be very very difficult, sometimes impossible, but minitest-bisect makes it easy. minitest-bisect helps you isolate and debug random test failures. If your tests only fail randomly, you can reproduce the error consistently by using `--seed <num>`, but what then? How do you figure out which combination of tests out of hundreds are responsible for the failure? You know which test is failing, but what others are causing it to fail or were helping it succeed in a different order? That's what minitest-bisect does best.

natspec - natural specification (comments) parser / machinery; document application binary interfaces (abis) for Ethereum & Co. (blockchain) contracts

Looksee lets you examine the method lookup path of objects in ways not possible in plain ruby.

rlp-lite - light-weight machinery to serialize / deserialze via rlp (recursive length prefix)

ZenTest provides 4 different tools: zentest, unit_diff, autotest, and multiruby. ZenTest scans your target and unit-test code and writes your missing code based on simple naming rules, enabling XP at a much quicker pace. ZenTest only works with Ruby and Test::Unit. Nobody uses this tool anymore but it is the package namesake, so it stays. unit_diff is a command-line filter to diff expected results from actual results and allow you to quickly see exactly what is wrong. Do note that minitest 2.2+ provides an enhanced assert_equal obviating the need for unit_diff autotest is a continous testing facility meant to be used during development. As soon as you save a file, autotest will run the corresponding dependent tests. multiruby runs anything you want on multiple versions of ruby. Great for compatibility checking! Use multiruby_setup to manage your installed versions.
