Diaspora's test suite uses [rspec](http://rspec.info/), a behavior driven testing framework. In order to run the tests, run `bundle exec rspec spec`.
## Commit Guidlines
You are welcome to contribute, add and extend Diaspora however you see fit. We will do our best to incorporate everything that meets our guidelines.
All commits must be tested, and after each commit, all tests should be green before a pull request is sent. Please write your tests in Rspec or Test-Unit, (depending on the functionality) so we can minimize diaspora’s requirements.
GEMS: if you are adding to diaspora, and want to maximize the speed of getting pulled back in, please use the libraries we are already using in the application ie: Nokogiri for XML parsing, MongoMapper for database querying, EM:HttpRequest for http requests etc etc. We currently have a few duplicate libraries which we used for the sake of “making it green”, but this duplication is high on our “wanted refactors” list.
## Resources
We are maintaining a [public tracker project](http://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/61641) and a [wishlist](#).
