RSpec is a behavior-driven development (BDD) framework for the Ruby programming language, inspired by JBehave.[4] It contains its own mocking framework that is fully integrated into the framework based upon JMock. The framework can be considered a domain-specific language (DSL) and resembles a natural language specification.

Usage Examples

#Testing for our User class
describe User do
  context 'with admin privileges' do
    before :each do
      @admin = Admin.get(1)
    end

    it 'should exist' do
      expect(@admin).not_to be_nil
    end
    
    it 'should have a name' do
      expect(@admin.name).not_to be_false
    end
  end
