agrimm / chaser

== DESCRIPTION:

Chaser is unit test sadism(tm), like Seattlerb's Heckle. It's more or less mutation testing, except that rather than 
mutating every line of code it can get its claws into, it merely modifies the return value of targeted methods. If the 
unit tests don't notice the modified return values, or the program going haywire as a result of using those modified 
return values, then they aren't doing their jobs properly.

Unit test sadism is a trademark of Ryan Davis and Kevin Clark, and is used without permission.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* It only mutates the return values of methods.
* It works in ruby 1.9, Windows, and JRuby.

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Test/Unit. Ruby 1.9 needs the test-unit gem, while ruby 1.8 doesn't require anything!

== INSTALL:

* Add gemcutter as a gem source.
* sudo gem install chaser
