Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Build Status semantic-release

An action-oriented approach to integration testing, simulating users to comprehensively test your app.

Status: Prototype. TweetDeck uses it, but it's not ready for general use.

Why does Integrator exist?

There are numerous problems with integration tests today:

  • They don't simulate users. Only the user-flows that you thought to test are tested, and assertions are coupled to CSS selectors. That's is not how a user sees your application and it results in change-detector tests.

  • They have implicit dependencies. Current test frameworks encourage you to write tests that depend on the success of another, without an explicit notion of dependency. The result is that test order might be important, which is hard to debug and refactor.

  • Tests are hard to write and debug. This leads to flaky tests, false negatives or (worse) false positives, and untested but critical user flows.

Fixing it requires taking some of the manual work out of creating and maintaining these tests, providing a framework that helps the test author to avoid writing bad tests.

What does that mean specifically?

  • Explicit, reproducible setup & teardown
  • Real user simulation in a chaotic testing
  • Explicit dependencies where ordering is well-defined and deterministic

Integrator is a test runner and authoring framework that tries to help.
