As part of the TDD process, I spec all attributes, but this doesn't

sure that all columns exist and can be written to and read from?
What I meant by this was that say you have classes...
Animal {weight, height, dob}
Pet < Animal {name}
ZooAnimal < Animal {cage_id}
then, using ActiveRecord, all three will have attributes {weight,
height, dob, name, cage_id}. If you don't want your pets in a cage,
it's worth preventing that and writing specs for it.
That's what I was getting at, really - the extra data corruption issues.
