I was reading Why Rails Fixtures are No Fun last week and was going to write a great post about xUnit Patterns that would address the problems but today I saw Object Mother In Rails so I don’t need to write it up. Phew!

RSpec, the Behavior Driven Development(BDD) library for Ruby, has been solidifying on JRuby recently. A post to the mailing list last week pointed out that it’s now passing nearly 100% of its specification (the RSpec term for a test suite). http://www.infoq.com/news/2006/11/RSpecOnJRuby
I mentioned rSpec in Beyond Test Driven Development: Behaviour […]
A friend over at Pivotal sent me a link to this Google Video: Beyond Test Driven Development: Behaviour Driven Development.
