Python test framework with support of non-fatal failures

GWT testing without GWTTestCase and the DOM
Can I test my client side GWT code without GWTTestCase? I've heard somewhere (I think it was one of the Google IO 2009 conferences) that they were successfully testing their code with a fake DOM, in the JVM and not in Javascript with the DOM. That would be brilliant. The point of this would be to gain speed (order of magnitude). Does any...
How to organize a Data Base Access layer?
I am using SqlAlchemy, a python ORM library. And I used to access database directly from business layer directly by calling SqlAlchemy API. But then I found that would cause too much time to run all my test cases and now I think maybe I should create a DB access layer, so I can use mock objects during test instead of access database di...

Testing an exception is thrown when using get with Ruby on Rails
I want to verify that an exception is being thrown in some function tests by calling get :methodname, :params. I had expected just making this call and then verifying the result is a 500 would be sufficient, but rails is failing the test as soon as the exception is reached in the get. While I figure I could go ahead and wrap the get in a...
