Effective Testing with RSpec 3

Your Turn

In this chapter, you practiced several good testing habits related to running your specs. RSpec’s support for these habits sets it apart from other test frameworks:

• Powerful formatters show your specs’ output in a variety of ways.

• Filtering your examples lets you focus on a specific issue and run just the specs you need.

• The pending method helps you sketch out examples before implementing the behavior fully.

Now, you’re going to experiment with these techniques a little further.
