Quoted: One of the more interesting announcements recently coming to the Ruby community was the release of JetBrains RubyMine IDE for Ruby and Ruby on Rails applications. The Ruby community is known for not typically using an integrated development environment (IDE) such as .NET or Java developers use. Ruby developers usually stick to plain text editors such as TextMate, Vim and Emacs.

Quoted: The Mingle team is absolutely crazy about testing and automation. Outside of testing installer integrity and production data migrations, we've totally replaced the manual regression test phase of the release cycle with a massive suite of automated acceptance tests. I'm mostly going to write about how the Mingle team has overcome some of the difficulties teams encounter when working with large acceptance suites, but, before I do that, I want to talk about our attitude towards testing. Why? Because without the right approach to testing, automation is pretty much useless.
