Event Details

This session is a real-world introduction to behavior-driven development (BDD) with RSpec. Attendees will learn:

 

  • The fundamentals of unit testing
  • Acceptance testing with User Stories
  • How-tos and gotchas of testing Rails applications
  • Mock objects–how to use them effectively
  • Design benefits of BDD
  • How to get an existing system under test
  • Strategies for weaving BDD into your process bit by bit

In this workshop we will first discuss each of these topics in detail. Then we'll pull them all together by building a feature the true BDD way–beginning with a conversation with the customer, writing acceptance test scenarios, and test-driving the implementation. The goal of this workshop is for you to come away with a strong enough grasp on RSpec and BDD to begin using it at work (or home!) later that day.
