**Summary:** The code changes in this GitHub Pull Request focus on updating the project's dependencies, introducing a new testing job with the "prism" gem, and improving the overall testing and continuous integration (CI) process. From an application security engineer's perspective, these changes do not introduce any obvious security concerns and appear to be positive improvements to the project's security and maintainability. The changes to the `Gemfile` ensure that test-related dependencies, such as `rake`, `minitest`, and `prism`, are only installed in the test environment, which helps to reduce the attack surface and minimize the risk of vulnerabilities being introduced through unused dependencies. The addition of the `brakeman` gem, which is a security scanner for Ruby on Rails applications, is also a positive security enhancement. The changes to the `test/test.rb` file and the new "test-with-prism" job in the CircleCI configuration file suggest that the project may be integrating the "prism" gem for security analysis or testing purposes. While this is an interesting aspect to investigate further, the changes themselves do not appear to introduce any direct security vulnerabilities. However, it's important to ensure that the "prism" gem is a trusted, secure, and up-to-date dependency, and that the test environment accurately reflects the production environment. **Files Changed:** 1. **Gemfile**: The changes move the `rake` gem from the global scope to a new `test` group and add two new gems, `minitest` and `prism`, to the `test` group. This is a positive change, as it helps to separate test-related dependencies from the production dependencies. 2. **test/test.rb**: The changes include the conditional loading and usage of the `prism` gem, which suggests that it may be used for security analysis or testing purposes in the Brakeman project. The changes also include minor adjustments to the `assert_nothing_raised` method in the `Minitest::Test` class. 3. **.circleci/config.yml**: The changes introduce a new job called "test-with-prism" that runs the project's tests with the "prism" gem installed. This suggests that the "prism" gem may be used for testing or mocking certain functionality in the application. The changes also include the "upload-coverage" job, which uploads the code coverage results to Code Climate.
