ChefSpec is a gem that makes it easy to write RSpec examples for Opscode Chef cookbooks. Get fast feedback on cookbook changes before you spin up a node to do integration testing against.
ChefSpec runs your cookbook but without converging the node that your examples are being executed on. This allows you to write specs that make assertions about the created resources given the combination of your recipes and arbitrary node attributes that you provide.
Examples and documentation on using ChefSpec are hosted on Relish.
This is alpha-quality at the moment. The API is likely to change substantially. ChefSpec is currently tested with Chef 0.9.18, 0.10.2 and 0.10.4 on MRI 1.8.7, 1.9.2 and 1.9.3.
