What you're talking about is generally called a macro.
describe TestClass do
def self.with_config_value(config)
before :all do
#set some config
end
#etc.
end
with_config_value(x) do
# do a bunch of tests
end
end
You can put the macro in a module and either use #extend to make it available
in a describe block, or use RSpec's config.extend method to do that
automatically.
Does that help?
