If you have a slow test suite and you are asking yourself "how can I make my tests faster?" then you are asking the wrong question. Most chances are that you have bigger problems than just slow tests. The test slowness is merely the symptom; what you should really address is the cause. Once the real cause is addressed you will find that it's easy to write new fast tests and straightforward to refactor existing tests.
It's surprising how quickly a rails app's test suite can become slow. It's important to understand the reason for this slowness early on and address the real cause behind it. In most cases the reason is excessive coupling between the domain objects themselves and coupling between these objects and the framework.
In this refactoring walk-through we will see how small, incremental improvements to the design of a rails app, and specifically, decoupling, naturally lead to faster tests. We will extract service objects, completely remove all rails dependencies in test time and otherwise reduce the amount of coupling in the app.
Our goal is to have a simple, flexible and easy to maintain system in which objects can be replaced with other objects with minimal code changes. We will strive to achieve this goal and observe the effect of it on our tests speed.
Starting with a Fat Controller
Suppose we have a controller that's responsible for handling users signing up for a mailing list:
class MailingListsController < ApplicationController
respond_to :json
def add_user
user = User.find_by!(username: params[:username])
NotifiesUser.run(user, 'blog_list')
user.update_attributes(mailing_list_name: 'blog_list')
respond_with user
We first find the user (an exception is raised if the user is not found). Then we notify the user she was added to the mailing list via
NotifiesUser (probably asking her to confirm). We update the user record with the name of the mailing list and then hand the
user object to
respond_with, which will render the json representation of the user or the proper error response in case saving of the object failed.
The logic here is pretty straight-forward, but it's still too complicated for a controller and should be extracted out. But where to? The word
user in every line in this method suggests that we should push it into the
User model (that's called Feature Envy). Let's try this:
Extracting Logic to a Fat Model
class MailingListsController < ApplicationController
respond_to :json
def add_user
user = User.add_to_mailing_list(params[:username], 'blog_list')
respond_with user
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_uniqueness_of :username
def self.add_to_mailing_list(username, mailing_list_name)
user = User.find_by!(username: username)
NotifiesUser.run(user, 'blog_list')
user.update_attributes(mailing_list_name: 'blog_list')
This is better: the
User class is now responsible for creating and updating users. But there is a problem: now
User is handling mailing list additions, as well as user notifications. These are too many responsibilities for one class. Having an active record object handle anything more than CRUD, associations and validations is a (further) violation of the Single Responsibility Principle.
The result is that business logic in active record classes is a pain to unit test. You often need to use factories or to heavily stub out methods of the object under test (don't do that), stub all instances of the class under test (don't do that either) or hit the database in your unit tests (please don't). As a result, testing active record objects can be very slow, sometimes orders of magnitude slower than testing plain ruby objects.
Now, if the code above was the entire
User class and my application was small and simple I might have been happy with leaving
User#add_to_mailing_list as is. But in a bit bigger rails apps that are not groomed often enough, models, controllers and domain logic tend to get tangled (coupled) together and needlessly complicate things (Rich Hickey, the inventor of clojure, calls it incidental complexity). This is when introducing a service objectis helpful:
Extracting a Service Object
class MailingListsController < ApplicationController
respond_to :json
def add_user
user = AddsUserToList.run(params[:username], 'blog_list')
respond_with user
class AddsUserToList
def self.run(username, mailing_list_name)
user = User.find_by!(username: username)
NotifiesUser.run(user, 'blog_list')
user.update_attributes(mailing_list_name: 'blog_list')
We created a plain ruby object,
AddsUserToList, which contains the business logic from before. In the controller we call this object and not
User directly. This is an improvement, but hard-coding the name of the class of your collaborator is a bad idea since it couples the two together and makes it impossible to replace the class with a different implementation. Not surprisingly, the result of this coupling is that testing becomes harder and tests slower. Testing this service object would require us to somehow stub
User#find_by! to avoid hitting the database, and probably also stub out
NotifiesUser#run in order to avoid sending a real notification out.
Also, referencing the class
User directly means that our unit tests will have to load active record and the entire rails stack, but even worse - the entire app and its dependencies. This load time can be a few seconds for trivial rails apps, but can sometimes be 30 seconds for bigger apps. Unit tests should be fast to run as part of your test suite but also fast to run individually, which means they should not load the rails stack or your application (also seeCorey Haines's talk on the subject).
The most straight forward way to decouple the object from its collaborators is to inject the dependencies of
Injecting Dependencies
class AddsUserToList
def self.run(username, mailing_list_name, finds_user = User, notifies_user = NotifiesUser)
finds_user.find_by!(username: username)
notifies_user.(user, mailing_list_name)
user.update_attributes(mailing_list_name: mailing_list_name)
We can now pass as an argument any class that finds a user and any class that notifies a user, which means that passing different implementations will be easy. It also means that testing will be easier. Since we supplied reasonable defaults we don't need to be explicit about these dependencies if we don't change them, and our controller can stay unchanged.
The fact that we are specifying
User as the default value of finds_user in the parameter list does not mean that this class and all its dependents (ActiveRecord, our app and other gems) will get loaded. Ruby's Deferred Evaluation of the default values means that if these default values are not needed they will not get loaded, so we can run this unit test without loading rails.
Simplifying the Interface
The method
AddsUserToList#run receives 4 arguments. Users of this method need to know the order of the list. Also, it is likely that over time you'd discover you need to add more arguments. When this happens you will need to update all users of the method. A more flexible solution is to use a hash of arguments. This will make the interface more stable and ensure the number of arguments does not grow when we find that we need to add more arguments. It will also make refactoring a little easier, which is important. I often find that for many classes I end up changing from an argument list to a hash of arguments at some point, so why not use it in the first place? But does it mean that we need to give up the advantages of deferred evaluation of the default values? Not at all.
We will use
Hash#fetch, passing a block to it, which will not get evaluated unless the queried key is absent. In our tests, the code in the block to
fetch will never get evaluated, and
User won't get loaded. Also, when specifying the defaults in the argument list it is not possible to evaluate more than one statement, but we can do it using
One more thing: when my classes contain only one public method I don't like calling it
do or
perform since these names don't convey a lot of information. In this case I'd rather call it
call and use ruby's shorthand notation for invoking this method. This also enables me to pass in a proc instead of the class itself if I need it.
class AddsUserToList
def self.run(args)
finds_user = args.fetch(:finds_user) { User }
notifies_user = args.fetch(:notifies_user) { NotifiesUser }
finds_user.find_by!(username: args.fetch(:username))
notifies_user.(user, args.fetch(:mailing_list_name))
user.update_attributes(mailing_list_name: args.fetch(:mailing_list_name))
Using Ruby 2.1's Keyword Arguments Syntax
We can get the same exact functionality by using ruby's 2.1's keyword argument syntax. See how much less verbose this version is:
class AddsUserToList
def self.call(username:, mailing_list_name:, finds_user: User,
notifies_user: NotifiesUser)
user = finds_user.find_by_username!(username)
notifies_user.(user, mailing_list_name)

454 Sequencing Identifies Early Stage HIV Drug Resistance
News Feb 18, 2009
A research study published online this week in the Journal of Infectious Disease reports that HIV resistance mutations present in as little as 1% of the viral population have a significant impact on clinical outcomes.
The paper outlines the results of a collaborative study between 454 Life Sciences, a Roche company, and a Yale School of Medicine researcher that used 454 Sequencing Systems to identify previously undetectable drug resistant HIV variants in research samples from an earlier performed clinical trial, called the FIRST Study.
The research study, lead by Michael Kozal, M.D. of the Yale University School of Medicine and the VA CT Health Care System, was a blinded-retrospectives analysis of 264 blood samples taken from HIV infected individuals before initiating drug treatment for research purposes. The FIRST Study samples were analyzed using Ultra-Deep Sequencing with the Genome Sequencer FLX System, a platform ideally suited for the sensitive detection of low-frequency mutations.
Surprisingly, results showed that the fraction of patients harboring resistance variants was twice as high as previously thought. The second question answered by the study was whether or not the low-level mutations undetected with current methods may affect patient outcome. Remarkably, drug resistance levels as low as 1% were found which could lead to early antiretroviral treatment failure with statistical significance.
"Current technology available to clinicians is limited to detecting resistance mutations that are present at levels of approximately 20% or greater in the circulating viral population in a patient. Thus, the current test used in the clinic may miss many low-level resistant HIV strains which can grow rapidly under drug selection pressure and lead to therapy failure. "This retrospective research study shows that even resistance mutations present at the 1% level can lead to premature failure of therapy," explained Michael Kozal, M.D., the senior author of the study. "In the future, hopefully clinicians may use this knowledge to choose better antiretroviral drug combinations that have the ability to suppress these resistant HIV strains which will lead to better clinical responses in patients."
While HIV survival trends have increased tremendously over the past decade, a significant number of patients develop drug resistance shortly after treatment is initiated. This is particularly true in developed nations where antiretroviral drugs have been widely accessible for years, and is an increasing concern as more treatments reach developing nations with high prevalence of HIV infected populations. The availability of long-term clinical data from the FIRST Study, which lasted five years, enabled correlation of the sequence data with patient outcomes.
"We developed the Ultra Deep Sequencing method exactly to answer this type of question and are very pleased with the power demonstrated in this research study," explained co-lead author Michael Egholm, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at 454 Life Sciences. "HIV drug-resistance is just one example of a real world problem that we may tackle with this powerful technology in future."

Southwest China\'s Tibet Autonomous Region plans to set up 251 new kindergartens offering education in both Mandarin and the Tibetan language next year, the regional government said Tuesday. The statement was made during an economic conference in Lhasa, in which the government promised to increase the region\'s spending on education and to promote bilingual preschool education in its farming and herding areas. According to the plan, Tibet will enroll 15,000 rural children into bilingual kindergartens in 2012, said Chen Quanguo, secretary of the Tibetan Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). By 2015, the two-year bilingual preschool education shall cover most of the region\'s rural areas, Chen said. Tibet has already implemented bilingual preschool education in its cities and counties and is working to expand such kindergartens into the region\'s vast countryside starting this year. In an earlier statement, education authorities said preschool education shall be made free for all children in rural Tibet by 2015. Tuition fees, as well as food and lodging expenses on campus, have been free for all primary and secondary school students from Tibetan herders\' families since 1985.

Driver jailed for fatal mistake on school run that crushed six-year-old to death
A SCHOOL bus driver who crushed a six-year-old boy to death when his vehicle sped out of control was jailed for 28 months today.
Adrian Shearing mistakenly hit the accelerator instead of the brake and his 67-seat DAF automatic coach sped off at 12mph, just as Nicola Connor dropped off her son Finlay on the congested road just feet from the school gates.
Finlay and Mrs Connor were trapped between his vehicle and a Fiat Punto just outside the school gates of Woodborough School in Pewsey, Wiltshire.
Mrs Connor was then dragged under the coach for 30 metres until Shearing, 52, managed to stop it. She suffered "massive injuries" to her legs, pelvis and body but Finlay never regained consciousness, Winchester Crown Court was told.
Shearing had only driven the coach owned by Bodman And Sons once before and was a part-time driver who had been employed for six months by the company to drop pupils off at various schools.
Shearing, from Trowbridge, pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving on March 14 this year.
Just before the incident a tractor had scraped the side of the coach and Shearing, who was described as "annoyed but not angry", had exchanged details before getting back behind the wheel.
By this time the narrow road outside the school was blocked with another tractor waiting to get by.
Parents had parked further away and were walking in the middle of the road to get to the school gates.
Colin Meeke, prosecuting, said: "The second tractor driver, Ryan Lanfear, described hearing the bus rev hard three times and then continuously.
"He could not believe the speed that the bus took off past him. There are quite a number of witnesses who describe the high revs and shooting off at some speed."
The barrister said the Fiat was in front of the bus as it sped off.
"In a ghastly coincidence Mrs Nicola Connor was leading her son by the hand behind the Fiat just as the coach careered forward into it.
"Both were struck down. Finlay Connor received fatal injuries and did not regain consciousness.
"Mrs Connor suffered massive injuries. There was nothing whatsoever she could have done. She suffers survivors' guilt but there was nothing anyone could have done."
A visibly shaken Shearing was heard to say after the death that the brakes had failed on the coach.
But the court heard it had no defects and that Shearing had suffered sudden acceleration syndrome, a common cause of similar accidents involving automatic buses where the driver becomes confused when he presses the accelerator by mistake and not the brake and cannot understand why the vehicle will not stop.
In mitigation, the court heard Shearing was an ordinary hardworking family man with no previous convictions. He accepted the coach was out of control, and gave his heartfelt sympathy to the family.
"It was his error that caused the accident. He panicked and slammed his foot down on the accelerator," his barrister Michael Hall said.
Imposing the prison term and a three-year driving disqualification, Judge Guy Boney QC accepted Shearing's culpability in the death was low, but he said: "The consequences of your driving come very high. A life has been lost at the very outset of its course and you ultimately bear the responsibility."
Mrs Connor and Finlay's father Greg sat in the well of the court during the hearing and wept as the court was told of the events.
Afterwards the family issued a statement: "Finlay Joseph Connor was simply the most perfect son to us as parents and a wonderful big brother to Louis.
"From the moment he was born he has brought us all love and joy, he really was a shining star who lit up our lives each and every day.
"On March 14 Finlay walked hand in hand to school with his mummy, as we did each and every day, so full, as always, of excitement for the school day ahead.
"This is my last memory of Finlay, as within just moments of reaching the school gate, the school coach accelerated towards us, running us down.
"In that moment our little boy's wonderful life was ended and his family's lives destroyed.
"Now nearly seven months on, we struggle to live our lives without him. He was so adored and is so missed."

Welcome to Cisco Support Community. We would love to have your feedback.
For an introduction to the new site, click here. And see here for current known issues.
Dear all,
I'm using an MCU 4510 and I've configured built-in gatekeeper, and I have an issue that I can initiate call from endpoint to MCU but I can not do it vice versa,
the notification on MCU is " Local Gatekeeper Refuse the call", I check System Status on endpoint : H.323 "Registered".
then I disable Gatekeeper setting on MCU and change H.323 call from gatekeeper to direct, and I can make a succesful call form MCU to endpoint.
And I change mode again, it does not work correctly.
So , what can i do to fix the problem?
It looks like you're attempting to dial a configured endpoint on the MCU - what is the configured dial-out address for this endpoint? On the gatekeeper page, what IDs has this endpoint registered with the MCU? It would be good to attach some screenshots of these pages if possible.
I'm attempting to dial an endpoint from MCU. But I'm going home so I can't capture some sceenshoots for you right now.
I'll come back in 2 days, and I'll post something you need to solve this.
So what exactly information do you want?
thanks for your reply,

A year or so ago, I was visiting Texas in August and stopped by my grandma's farm to say howdy. She asked if I was hungry, as she'd just cooked up a pot of black-eyed peas. How could I refuse? We sat down at the table and ate big bowls of the freshly picked peas along with Swiss chard cooked with bacon and warm cornbread slathered in butter. It was a fine late-summer feast using up the bounty of her garden.
Now, this time of year people start thinking more about black-eyed peas, greens and pork as they're required eating for good fortune in the New Year. A meal such as the one I shared with my grandma would not be out of place on New Year's Day. But these foods for us are an essential part of life and we eat them all year long, not just on January 1.
This isn't to say, however, that I won't be having black-eyed peas, greens and pork on Sunday. But I like to take a little license with these ingredients and take them on a journey to a new place.
And that's how I arrived at my New Year's Day queso compuesto.
The last time I was dipping into a queso compuesto, I asked myself, "What would this taste like with Mexican chorizo, black-eyed peas and collard greens?" Was it kind of crazy or kind of good? I decided to find out.

Complexion candy, a date, fig and pecan confection
Keep reading...
The other day I found myself in a cookie coma. After eating nothing but cookies and homemade candy for several hours straight, my belly hurt and I could barely keep my eyes open. It was a sugar, butter and white flour overload.
Now, I'm not one to pass up a sweet treat, especially this time of year. But sometimes it might be wise for me to cut back just a little so I won't find myself shopping for a whole new wardrobe in the new year.
Enter complexion candy. "What kind of candy?" you may be asking. I said the same thing when I came across this old Texan recipe. Though upon closer inspection I realized that complexion candy is simply an old-fashioned dried fruit and nut confection under a more colorful name.
I love dates. They're sticky, crunchy and sweet with such a rich caramelized flavor that it's hard to believe that they're a fruit. Yep, dates are nature's candy. And that's what's at the heart of complexion candy, along with figs, raisins, orange zest and pecans.

Bacon-jalapeño cheese ball
Keep reading...
While I was home for Thanksgiving, I found in my grandma's cabinet a North Texas community cookbook from the 1970s. It was a fairly typical cookbook, with chapters on appetizers, soups, main courses and desserts in the traditional order that you'd eat them. But attached to the end was a final chapter that focused on only one thing: cheese.
The placement struck me as strange. Why was it the last chapter of the book? Sure, Europeans are known for having a cheese course at the end of a meal, but Texans not so much. Then I turned the page. It wasn't just any old cheese chapter—it was a chapter on nothing but cheese balls.
Now, I've written before about my love of this decadent and delicious appetizer fashioned from cheese, nuts and herbs. When I was growing up, it was the mark of a very grown-up party if there was a pecan-covered cheese ball on the table. While the kids would get their cheese fix by dipping chips into the pot of chile con queso, the adults would nibble on wheat crackers topped with the nutty, creamy spread.
Then, cheese balls went out of style. Whenever you'd mention them there would inevitably be giggling and eye rolling. Heck, even the term "cheese ball" began to connote an over-the-top, slightly out-of-touch buffoon. For example, take that friend who serenaded all the girls with Lionel Ritchie's "Hello," when he first met them. "Oh, he's such a cheese ball," people would say. It wasn't exactly an insult, but you could all agree that your friend was more goofy than cool.

Chilaquiles with ancho tomatillo salsa
Keep reading...
When I first moved to New York, one of the dishes that was lacking was migas. That Texan breakfast staple of eggs scrambled with fried tortillas, along with a host of other good things such as cheese and chiles, was nowhere to be found.
Then one day a friend called and said, "I've found migas! This Mexican restaurant is calling them chilaquiles, but if you close your eyes you won't tell the difference."
Desperate for a migas fix, the next morning I hopped on the train and met him for breakfast at his local Mexican joint. We ordered the chilaquiles and were presented with scrambled eggs tossed with fried tortillas coated in a bright salsa verde. My friend was correct—they were very similar to our beloved migas and we ate them with gusto and joy.
Chilaquiles (pronounced chee-la-kee-lays), to those who've never had them, are fried tortilla strips or wedges that have been simmered in salsa. As the fried tortillas cook, they absorb the salsa and impart it with its toasted corn flavor until the two become meshed into one. You know when you get to the bottom of the cereal bowl and the cereal has absorbed some of the milk and the milk tastes like cereal? Yep, chilaquiles are kind of wonderful like that—though hopefully not as soggy.
Now, sometimes other things can join the party, such as sliced chicken, shredded beef or even scrambled eggs, the latter of which causes people to think that migas and chilaquiles are the same.
But they're not.

Chilly weekend walks.
Jan 20, 2013
A few from the early morning walks yesterday and today. The two Heron shots are from this morning, very dull light before it started snowing heavily again and was pushed to ISO6400, but they cleaned up well.
The others are from yesterday morning, early again, on my bird feeding walk. The little Blue Tits were a bit bolder with the prospect of some good food.

Electronic Logging Device Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When does the mandate take effect?
A: December of 2017, unless you have existing ELD like devices that meet the current AOBRD rule in part 395.15. If so, you may continue to use those devices until December of 2019.
Q: Are there exemptions to the new rule?
A: You are exempt if:
You are operating a truck older than 2000 model year;
You are not required to keep a log more than 8 days in a rolling 30 day period;
You meet the exemption to use time records in lieu of log books;
You are a drive away/tow away operation where the vehicle is the product delivered
Q: Am I exempt from the ELD Mandate because I stay in one state and within 100 air miles, and do not transport placarded amounts of hazmat?
A: Yes. If exempt from HOS currently, you are exempt from ELD's.
Q: I am a private carrier (not for hire), am I exempt from the mandate?
A: No. If you currently are required to keep log books, the ELD Mandate applies.
Q: What happens if my ELD malfunctions?
A: If a device fails, there is no enforcement issue concerning a driver switching from electronic logs to paper logs. A driver may use a paper log OR an automatic onboard recording device (AOBRD). The carrier decides which one the driver is to use. You have to recreate the current days and the previous 7 days, if they are not retrievable from the ELD. ELD's must be repaired within 8 days, unless granted an approved FMCSA approved extension. NOTE: In the event of malfunction, regulations require that paper logs be maintained in truck as back up. A hard copy of the operator's manual must be readily available for law enforcement as well.
Q: Where can I obtain an ELD and what are the costs?
A: ELD's are available from a variety of sources. You can google ELD or check with other motor carriers for references. Doing homework is suggested as ELD's can serve greater purposes to assist motor carriers with other compliance such as IFTA/IRP. Costs vary but are coming down due to competition.
Q: Are there protections in the mandate to protect drivers from harassment?
A: Yes. the final rule contains several protections. See ATA summary for further information.

An eight-year-old girl who was critically injured in a collision involving a school bus and a logging truck last week is out of intensive care.
The collision on Monday last week near Ruatoki in Bay of Plenty resulted in 35 children and the truck driver being treated in North Island hospitals.
Auckland District Health Board says the eight-year-old girl, who is in Starship Hospital, was moved on Tuesday from intensive care to a ward.
The only other child still in hospital is a 12-year-old boy who is comfortable and stable in Tauranga Hospital.
Another 12-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were discharged from Tauranga Hospital on Tuesday.

Did you know you could personalise your new home even before you move in?
Once you've reserved, your Sales Executive will arrange a Choices and Options Meeting, where you'll get your opportunity to choose from a wide range of upgrades and optional extras.
You could choose tiles, flooring, kitchens, white goods, lighting… and many more features and fittings besides. And because we build many options in as we construct your new home, you'll have more choices the earlier you reserve. Your Sales Executive will tell you the options available to you at each stage.
Once you've chosen your optional extras, you can discuss the different ways you could pay for them with your Sales Executive. Then all that's left for you to do is to move into your new home with everything already installed and working!
The Government backed Help to Buy scheme is available here. The scheme is open to both first time buyers and home movers alike, and means you'll need just 5% deposit to buy a new home.
With Help to Buy, the Government will lend you up to 20% of the value of your new build home via an equity loan. You will need to secure up to a 75% mortgage and put down a 5% deposit. You'll own 100% of your home from day one.
Help to Buy is also available in conjunction with our easymover scheme, which means we could help you sell your existing home and pay your estate agent fees. Find out more about how the Help to Buy scheme works.

Etiological factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) involve a wide range of gene and environmental interactions. One of the systems being implicated in the pathophysiology of CAD is the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). However, the genetic polymorphisms of this system have not been widely studied in Iranian patients diagnosed with CAD. The aim of this… (More)

BACKGROUND Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has close ties with hypertension, though risk factors to the development of HFpEF in hypertensive patients are not fully understood. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) signifies the susceptibility toward diastolic heart dysfunction, and genetic determinants of LVH as a result may serve as… (More)

Hyperactivity of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenocortical (HPA) axis is one of the main clinical findings in depression. The HPA axis is interrelated with glucocorticoid signaling via glucocorticoid receptors (GCRs). Thus, functional genetic variants on GCRs might influence therapeutic outcomes in depression. The aim of the present study was to investigate… (More)
