Testing is the most important activity in the development process. If you don’t test, how do you know that your code actually works correctly? And if you don’t have tests, how do you know you don’t break something? JRuby makes it possible to test Ruby code – but also to apply Ruby testing frameworks to Java code. This session will take a look at the current state of the start in JRuby testing, looking at how well the different frameworks work, and what you need to do to take your Java testing to the next century.

Useless. I’m sorry to say it.
The whole talk is on how to test Java code with JRuby but there is no mention of the advantages the approach has over just using Java-based mock and test frameworks. Why the hell do I care about a problem you had adapting a Ruby mocking framework to use with Java via JRuby? If you feel that testing Java with Ruby is better (for whatever reason) then please convince me, explain your arguments, show me the advantages and THEN explain how I can do it.
