Test Coverage

If you want to help improve Play-Test, a great way would be to write some more rspec and Capybara tests. Check out coverage.play-test.co.uk for an up-to-date test coverage breakdown.

Tech Stack

• Rails 8.0+ - With minimal gems
• SQLite - No fancy databases (yet?)
• RSpec & Capybara - 90%+ test coverage
• Semantic HTML + MVP.css - Simple CSS
• Turbo for progressive JS enhancement
