It’s literally has been a while since my last post.

Meanwhile I was allowed to play around with:

• CJS and AMD modules
• Backbone, Twitter Bootstrap, jQuery and mongoDB — to create (single page) apps
• mocha, sinon, chai, Jasmine — to test them
• PhantomJS and CasperJS — to run the tests
• Plato and Istanbul — to produce reports and metrics
• grunt, bower and yeoman — to run and build all the stuff above

A lot of JavaScript stuff, right ? (Yes ma’, i’m a JavaScript dude now).

So as you may have noticed that’s why i removed the word ActionScript from the blog title and changed it to Little Pieces From Everything.

When developing TDD or BDD in Ruby (1.9.2) using the RCov::VerifyTask you need to fullfill a certain threshold to make a build successful.

It can be quite annoying to update the (hopefully) increased threshold of the RCov::VerifyTask in your Rakefile after each successful build. So I did some experiments and the following script is the result.
