A kata is defined as an exercise in programming which helps hone your skills through practice and repetition. Authoring katas is done in blogs but you can't really test yourself. This gem provides a DSL to author the kata and administer it as a test providing feedback for evaluation. It also provides basic github repo setup so that you can chart solution progress over time.
The inspiration for this gem came from my friend Nick Hengeveld
It is up on rubygems.org so add it to your project bundle:
gem kata
or do it the old fashioned way and install the gem manually:
gem install kata
