Experimenting with Kanban

http://blog.golfymcg.com/experimenting-with-kanban

We have consistently experimented with product development since we started Healthify and I wanted to share where we've ended up. Much of what we do is focused on regularly recurring feedback loops. We want to objectively evaluate what we're doing on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis so we can be sure what we're doing is helping to improve our product development process. We've structured all these goals under a system called Kanban. For the last few weeks and we've enjoyed it so far. On a daily basis t...

Mocking or Spying

http://blog.golfymcg.com/spy-vs-mock

On Ruby on Rails. Healthify has recently been making an effort to transfer our acceptance tests from Cucumber to RSpec (why we are, is another blog post entirely). One feature we were transferring in particular helped highlight what I believe to be a flaw in how I've been using RSpec throughout our unit tests. Expect(something).to receive(:method name). Allow(something).to receive(:method name) expect(something).to have received(:method name). Arrange: Set up your stubs first allow(something).to rece...

Profiling Slow Tests

http://blog.golfymcg.com/profiling-slow-tests

Healthify has reached a breaking point in dealing with our slow test suite. We have a combination of issues we've left unaddressed for awhile, but the general breakdown of concerns is:. Tests that break sporadically, or flakey tests. Tests we know that don't inspire much confidence or are simply returning false positives. Testing against external services, particularly with VCR. To make this a manageable 5 minutes but that simply masks the issue of having a test suite that might be a. And you're all set.

Selectivizr & IE8

http://blog.golfymcg.com/selectivizr-ie8

It's time to talk about Internet Explorer 8 again. This time, it's about how we failed to recognize an issue with a library aimed at enabling CSS3 psuedo-selectors called Selectivizr. Appeared to be quite the cure-all when I first came across it. In their own words, this is what it does:. Selectivizr was written to make using CSS3 selectors in Internet Explorer completely seamless. But to their credit is followed by:. Unfortunately, we stumbled upon an issue not outlined on their site:. JS is single-thre...

SCSS-Linter

http://blog.golfymcg.com/scss-linter

For a long time we hadn't linted anything at Healthify, mainly because I had never found a linter I liked. Along came scss-lint. Scss-lint proved to be highly configurable and easily implemented though there were a few quirks. First off, our app and the gem don't agree on versions for some dependencies which prevented us from just loading it into our Gemfile. Instead, we are using it as a CLI tool essentially for checking our work every so often. To get started you need to install the gem:. In any situat...
