Using Sinatra to Test Remote Services in Rails

When you're writing application tests and need to stub out an external resource, you've got options. Primarily, FakeWeb is the library of choice right now, easily recording and mocking fairly complex requests and interactions. However, FakeWeb does not easily differentiate requests which change based on the data parameters posted. So, if you like FakeWeb, but need something more robust, check out SinatraFakeWebService by Elad Meidar which allows you to script a fake resource within Sinatra and your tests.
