Test-Driving Rails Development

Test-driven development has changed the way that many programmers design, write, test, refactor, and maintain their code. Myself included.

In this presentation, I'll be introducing the concept of test-driven development and walking through the process of test-driving a typical Rails application.

This presentation is intended for Rails developers who: are new to testing have been testing, but not test-driving have been test-driving, but not with RSpec have been test-driving with RSpec and hope to learn a few new tricks :)

Along with writing specifications for Models, Views, & Controllers, I hope to cover: writing user stories (acceptance tests) creating custom RSpec matchers continious integration using Autotest / CruiseControl.rb testing JavaScript & AJAX
