Goal Determine whether Racket's testing ecosystem should supply a built‑in mock connection for racket/db 's connect procedure so that integration tests can run without real database credentials. Constraints and uncertainty The connect function raises an authentication‑required error when username or password are omitted, as documented in racket/db . Teams cu
Deciding on a mocking strategy for a growing RSpec suite Our team is standardizing how we isolate collaborators in unit tests, and we keep hitting the same unresolved decision: when to use allow , when to use expect , and when spies are the better fit. The suite mixes all three styles inconsistently, and reviewers disagree on what each test is actually promi
