Behaviour Driven Development with RSpec
summary
Claim: behavior-driven development is TDD plus an explicit focus on design, documentation and behavior and it’s practical in Ruby right now. Demonstrations use RSpec, Autotest and a new story runner (RBehave merged) to drive scenarios, show ping‑pong pair programming, and implement a user/role example end to end — the story runner executes given/when/then scenarios and the in‑browser editor prototype runs but remains work in progress. Mocking (Schmock/RR), TestUnit integration, HTML output and pending examples all function in the demos.
