BDD and Acceptance Testing with RSpec & Capybara
summary
Shows how Behavior‑Driven Development delivers value by testing from the outside in and then filling models, using RSpec for unit/spec design and Capybara (with Selenium/PhantomJS or rack‑test) to drive the browser. Builds a minimal Ruby cart then an actual Rails app with Devise, High Voltage and Bootstrap, demonstrates the red‑green‑refactor cycle, runs two model specs to green, scaffolds many pending acceptance specs, and verifies UI pieces like a dismissible flash and navigation links.
