Thanks Peter and Culley. What about something like RubyEncoder? If I would like my overseas programmer to work on the views and controllers (just the UI), can I encode all the model files and give them to him? Will the automatic test scripts continue to work with the encoded model files?
Using stubs for models sound good but does that mean I have to rewrite lots of the integration testing scripts to accommodate for the fact that the models are just stubs which do not return the results you would expect from fully implemented models? Thanks.
