New applications generated from Rails 4.2 now comes with the Web Console gem by

-Web Console is an IRB console available in the browser. In development mode, you
-can go to /console and do your work right there. It will also be made available
-on all exception pages and allows you to jump between the different points in
-the backtrace.
+Web Console is a set of debugging tools for your Rails application. It will add
+an interactive console on every error page, a `console` view helper and a VT100
+compatible terminal.
+
+The interactive console on the error pages lets you execute code where the
+exception originated. It's quite handy to introspect the state that led to the
+error.
+
+The `console` view helper launches an interactive console within the context of
+the view where it is invoked.
+
+Finally, you can launch a VT100 terminal that runs `rails console`. If you need
+to create or modify existing test data, you can do that straight from the
+browser.
