You may want to consider supporting .gems files for specifying additional gem dependencies since that's what Heroku uses. Their customers would potentially be interested in your product also and I couldn't imagine they'd want to maintain two dependencies files.

Is there a way to specify how the tests are split across test machines or the order in which tests are run?

There is not currently a way to specify the way tests are split across machines or the order. We're working on a solution but it hasn't been a problem yet for our current users.

Or we might just spin it as a feature - we find order dependencies in your tests!

Yeah we currently support GemInstaller and Rails built in gem dependencies. We talked a bit with Heroku and hopefully we can figure out if it is best to support the .gems directly or through some geminstaller compatibility layer.
