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
