[Wtr-general] Order of execution for ruby tests with test/unit

[Paul Rogers]

some time ago, maybe August, I posted some code that would do the test in source code order, it created the TestSuite by reading the file first. You can also name your methods like
test_010
test_020

etc

if you use rspec ( rspec.rubyforge.org ) it runs in source order, and provides a very nice way or organizing specifications ( specs are like tests )
