This is only a maintenance release I did not want to advertise my tiny
package too much.
I just have no time to update my Rubyforge project homepage, but there
is a short description http://labrador.rubyforge.org/
Here is the README

This is the very simple Verify mini test framework

It emphasises on being able to check things out quickly without having
to load a heavy test
framework.
It evolves around my needs but for the time being it is pretty lightweight.


	require 'verify'

	Verify "Some Important Facts" do
	  verify "42 is true" do
	    42
	  end
	  refute "42 is pretty big" do
	    42 > 100_000
	  end
	  verify_exceptions NoMethodError do
	    42.unrelinguished!
	  end
	end

These forms are very easy to remember, but sometimes one needs to see where the
errors, are, in order to achieve that one can use the parameter form

	Verify "With parameters" do
	  verify msg: "Everything is well", target: 42, actual: 21 * 2
	  refute msg: "But not too much",   target: 42, actual: 41
	end

Mockify allows to capture stdout or simulate stdin, all you need to do is to
require 'mockify' *before* requiring 'verify' and than you can provide stdin
and get stdout

	Verify "Providing stdin" do
	  with_input %w{The Quick Brown Fox} do
	    verify %{first line is "The"} do
	      "The" == gets.chomp
	    end
	  end
	end

	Verify "Capturing stdout" do
	  out = with_output do | o |
	    puts 42
	    verify target: "42\n", actual: o.string
	  end
	end
	verify msg: "with_output converted out to an array of lines",
	    actual: out.map( &:chomp ),
	    target: %w{ 42 }
	end

Enjoy
