<br>I don't 'secure' everything, only the things which seem critical in the context of this application.<br><br>I find this very useful before migrating a plugin to its new version, or when replacing a plugin by another.
<br>I also use it to reproduce bugs in those plugins.<br><br>my 0.02€!<br>
<br>ps: RSpec is a kind of a dream to me - the isolation provided by default is bringing a lot of benefits to my testing process ! Thanks.<br><br>Best,<br><br>Thibaut<br></div></div>
