Contributors are definitely needed 
I have sadly been pretty busy these last few weeks and not got a lot done.

Can we treat this thread as a wishlist?
I thing an approval testing library would be very useful. The idea is explained in here: http://approvaltests.com/

Could you give an example of what kind of approval testing would be useful for you right now? What would somebody’s library do that would make it instantly useful in your eyes?

The main appeal I saw in the library, given I do a lot of APIs, is verifying JSON responses of endpoints. I have a lot of acceptance-style tests that go through the whole stack and assert on various keys of the response. Having the response maintained separately and verified in the “approval” test way would be very helpful. Additionally committed responses would serve as a great examples for documentation - there’s nothing better than runnable documentation.
I got initially interested in the topic reading the article: Resources
While the SQL part is not as interesting for me, the JSON one very much is.

Our LDAP server uses some custom identifiers for things that no other would use, however I did make the plugin able to configure those in the config.exs files, so although I’ve not released it yet I can release it if you need it?

That would be great! I’m in the need for inspiration on how to best build one or use an existing.
