RSpec is for specifying lower level specifications. For stories/scenarios you are probably looking for Cucumber, which is a separate project which fits together with RSpec like a hand and glove. The best way to use them, in my opinion, is in the style of outside in development, in which you write cucumber features (a collection of scenarios) to drive out what needs to be implemented, then use RSpec to do behaviour driven development on those pieces and get the features to successfully run, then go back and define more features, rinse and repeat. There are many blog articles about this, but the best way to understand it is probably via the RSpec book which is currently under development and covers both RSpec and Cucumber. Although it's pre-production, it's available under the Pragmatic Programmers beta program. http://pragprog.com/titles/achbd/the-rspec-book -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
