This document provides an introduction to unit testing with RSpec. It explains that unit tests check individual sections of code and integration tests check how those sections work together. It then describes the red-green-refactor process of test-driven development, where you first write a failing test, then pass the test with the simplest code, then refactor the code. Resources for learning more about RSpec and practicing tests are also provided.
This document discusses test-driven development (TDD) using Rails, RSpec, and other tools. It notes benefits of TDD like creating solid, change-resilient code, self-testing software, and fewer bugs for customers. Principles like SOLID, dependency injection, and interface segregation are covered. Configuration files and commands for setting up RSpec for testing Rails applications are also listed.
The document discusses best practices for using RSpec, a testing library for Ruby projects. It provides examples of good and bad ways to write RSpec tests and describes techniques like using contexts and shared examples to organize tests and DRY up code. The document emphasizes testing edge cases, mocking only when needed, creating data dynamically in tests rather than using fixtures, and following practices like describing methods under test and having single-expectation tests. It encourages starting to use RSpec and provides contact information for the author to learn more.
