“THE TWO BEST RUBY CODEBASES OF ALL TIME: Sidekiq, and Minitest, continual inspirations for style and clarity.” - @nateberkopec
Thanks Nate, I paged thru the minitest code and learned a bunch. For Sidekiq, I recommend starting with sidekiq/api.rb. Lots of value for your time.

Lost in Minitest? Start here! - Remi Mercier - Software Developer
I have a confession to make: I have never used Minitest in the seven years I've been a professional programmer. Lured by the promise of speed and wide adoption, I decided to try Minitest. Then I hit an unexpected roadblock.

I’ve been working on adapters for Minitest and RSpec in Quickdraw. It’s almost a drop-in replacement now that won’t require rewriting your tests. But the Quickdraw runner is lightning fast on multi-core machines.

Right now I migrated my entire test suite from rspec to minitest. My conclusion stays the same, rspec is fine for speed. Migrating to minitest doesn't make the test suite (much) faster. The only upside of minitest is 1st party parallelization, which is slightly better than a 3rd party one.

Alright, lets get this out of the way. A test suite doesn't improve (much) by convering from rspec to minitest. I just converted all my model tests from rspec to minitest and it is actually slower.
My stance didn't change. Your test suite isn't slow because of rspec, it is because of system tests.

Most developers learn RSpec or Minitest. But not what testing actually means.
Testing isn’t just writing tests. It is modeling risk, defining coverage, and thinking critically.
