We need an improvement to our architecture to allow us to test portions of spree more easily. However I believe we will always need working complete factories form, at least for integration tests.

Regardless of what we're to do in the future. I thought it may be useful to document why all these queries are currently run, and what options we have to reduce their number.

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first. In 30 minutes or less, it's difficult to get a solid read on a candidate's skill set without looking at code they've previously written. And in the corporate/enterprise world, I often don't have access to their previous work.

To ensure we hired competent ruby developers at my last job, I created a list of 15 ruby questions -- a ruby measuring stick if you will -- to select the cream of the crop that walked through our doors.

What to expect

Candidates will typically give you a range of responses based on their experience and personality. So it's up to you to decide the correctness of their answer.
