You'll learn how to use test doubles (mocks and stubs) to control the environment and focus the RSpec examples on one object at a time and how to customize RSpec to speak in the language of your domain.You'll develop Rails 3 applications and use companion tools such as Webrat and Selenium to express requirements for web applications both in memory and in the browser. And you'll learn to specify Rails views controllers and models each in complete isolation from the other.Whether you're developing applications frameworks or the libraries that power them The RSpec Book will help you write better code better tests and deliver better software to happier users.
