Does it add any value to even add things like "Joe" and "Acme" into a story part? It seems like that is an implementation detail of your story.
Who cares about "Joe" or "Acme", don't you just care that you have a user who works for a company. And if that company has a particular trait wouldn't it be cleaner to identify the company by that trait rather then a name in the description? IE: Given " a user who works for a company that sells cartoons" And then in your helper you can use "Joe" and Acme" def a_user_who_works_for_a_company_that_sells_cartoons @user = Generate.user( "joe") @company = Generate.company("Acme") @company.employees = @user end ? -- Zach Dennis http://www.continuousthinking.com _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
