heroku for testing? heroku is just a hosting platform. For testing people use things like Selenium, Cucumber, etc. At least for end product/functional tests.
If you're testing code, you use a tool for that language (rspec for Ruby, JUnit for Java, ScalaTest, Specs2, etc for Scala). Ideally you should teach people to do both unit testing and functional testing for end user apps or integration testing for services. -
@djsumdog interesting, thanks. What would be a good hosting integration setup? Like heroku is a case of pushing to GitHub and it opens from there. Is there anything similar to this? Something that isn’t just FTP I guess

Need advice.
So the class I TA is learning how to use heroku for website testing. It is going up on fire because of a shit tonne of errors everywhere. The professor is adamant heroku is what is used nowadays for testing (over using FTP) so we will have to help 200+ people troubleshoot without knowing much ourselves.
My question is what are some other modern website testing mechanisms? Preferably some that have retard proofing in them.
