Fast Specs

I gave a talk on “Fast Specs” at our first round of lightning talks for ICRuby. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Summary: techniques for speeding up the test suite in your Rails app (subsecond specs in some cases)

My slides are up from my #LightningTalk on #FastSpecs at today’s @icruby meetup media.benjaminoakes.com/2013/04-04-fas… #Ruby #IowaCity

@benjaminoakes Good stuff.Have you tried `bundle install --standalone` to avoid the runtime bundler tax? myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/201…

@myronmarston Thanks!:)We’ve played with changing our use of Bundler, but I hadn’t heard of `--standalone` before.I’ll have to try it.
