 We use the following testing tools:
 
-* [**RSpec**](http://rspec.info/) for testing the backend
-* [**Capybara**](https://github.com/teamcapybara/capybara) with [**selenium-webdriver**](https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/tree/master/javascript/node/selenium-webdriver) for view testing
-* [**chromedriver-helper**](https://github.com/flavorjones/chromedriver-helper) for standard JS testing
-* [**guard-rspec**](https://github.com/guard/guard-rspec) for automated testing
-* [**Jest**](https://facebook.github.io/jest) for testing in the front-end
-* [**SimpleCov**](https://github.com/colszowka/simplecov) for tracking overall test coverage

 Each pull request should come with tests related to the newly written feature or bug fix. Ideally, we should test both the front end and back end.
