1. How much BDD are you actually using in your development process? Are you all out BDD from your views to your controllers to your models ... or do you find it only really being useful for certain aspects in your project?
I use T/BDD all the time, I'm 90% BDD since I do some aspects of my views without sticking to BDD. I can't do proper Model work/bug fixing without using BDD/TDD. 2. What is the workflow you follow for implementing a new user story and/or task using BDD and RSpec? Write the specs with the client trying to match their vocabulary with the examples' words. I unfortunately don't use story runner/cucumber enough :( 3. What is the workflow you follow for integrating RSpec into existing functionality? new feature = new user stories = new specs = new failing examples = new code to be written 4. What are the really key features of RSpec to be known and used just about all the time? Syntax/verbose (some people don't like it), shared behaviors, nested contexts and matchers 5. Are there any RSpec/BDD haters out there? When do you find BDD to be overkill and more a waste of time than providing anything really helpful? People might argue about different frameworks, being a really RSpec adopter and very vocal about it at SDRuby people know me as a RSpec addict and fan (and not a great fan of Test::Unit). However, some of the new/other testing frameworks are pretty cool and mix the good ideas. 6. Suggested tutorials? Peepcode videos and Josh Susser's talk on testing frameworks during Rails Conf 08. -Matt p.s: check out screw unit, a great JS testing unit inspired by RSpec.
