Minitest has a couple of advantages over RSpec. Itâs less complex and is often faster in practice. If you really like the spec-style syntax, you might be interested in the version of it called Minitest::Spec that works in Minitest.[16] Weâre not covering Minitest::Spec here because itâs just different enough from RSpec to be confusing.
In the rest of this book Iâll describe how every new library is set up for both RSpec and Minitest. Although the examples will primarily be RSpec, the sample-code download has analogous Minitest examples for all of them in the test directory of each successive version of the application.
