16 OCT. 2026 · What makes it different
- Truly modular — seven independent category crates (syntax, semantic, performance, fuzz, integration, edge-cases, plus shared core-tests); adopt only what you need. cargo test --workspace pulls in zero extra dependencies by default — heavier tooling (Tokio, Criterion, proptest, trybuild, insta) is opt-in per feature flag, see https://github.com/rwilliamspbg-ops/RustForge#feature-flags.
- Comprehensive by design — syntax and compile-fail tests, ownership/ semantic correctness, Criterion benchmarks with regression guards (plus https://github.com/rwilliamspbg-ops/RustForge/blob/main/docs/performance-regression-testing.md), fuzzing (in-process proptest and real cargo-fuzz targets, with a https://github.com/rwilliamspbg-ops/RustForge/blob/main/docs/fuzzing.md), snapshot testing, boundary/ edge-case checks, and cross-category integration tests. Every one of these actually runs in CI, not just in a README example.
- Production-grade from day one — multi-toolchain, multi-OS CI; MSRV verified by a dedicated job, not just claimed; cargo-deny supply-chain checks; Dependabot for both the main and detached fuzz/ workspaces; #![warn(missing_docs)] enforced as a hard CI error; issue/PR templates and a contributor checklist. See https://github.com/rwilliamspbg-ops/RustForge#tooling--automation for the full list.
- Easy to adopt, no lock-in — a template, not a framework. Use it as a GitHub template repo, copy crates/ into an existing workspace (see the Quickstart above for the one real gotcha we found by actually testing that flow), or take individual crates — most depend only on shared core-tests, nothing else.
- Scales with you — start with syntax/semantic/integration on a small library; grow into fuzzing, property-based testing, and regression-guarded benchmarks as the project's rigor requirements grow.
- Library authors who want test coverage adopters can trust
- Teams building production Rust services who'd rather not assemble this tooling from scratch
- Anyone who'd rather start from a working, CI-verified baseline than bootstrap one
