What can be changed in Ember to make its users even more content when working with it? In this short publication, I will try to present a few ideas, which in 2018 could help the development (and further growth) of this tool.
What is the concept of Hackathon, why is it worth considering and what are the benefits Hackathon can bring to you and your company? In this article, I will share with you my experiences connected with organizing and bringing the event to life — from the very first concept to the big day itself and the final stage, right after Hackathon — in order to make your hard work pay off.
In the previous part of this article we focused on making specs we try to write as readable as possible. This however, comes at a cost of duplication and bloated individual tests. While this is a cost we intend to pay, there are ways to mitigate the impact of readability oriented specs on the overall size of our suite.
Form Object is a very useful pattern in rails ecosystem as it can address variety of issues and antipatterns. In this article we will attempt to sort out in which situations Form Objects can prove useful and what conventions allow us to make most out of them.
Clients and Wrappers (also referred to as “Facades”) are remarkably useful tools for working with external services, libraries or APIs.

In part 1 we have covered antipatterns related to stubbing and problem with implementation details that are a overcomplicated just for the sake of being super easy to tests. In second part we are going to focus more on tests themselves.
When preparing our test suite we might be tempted to make some shortcuts that will render our tests less readable, comprehensible or will significantly decrease the flexibility of further implementation. Below, I try to list some of the most commonly seen techniques we should avoid to keep our test suite healthy.
