The Ruby language and its companion framework Rails are among today's hottest technologies, with developers of all backgrounds making the transition while all along touting extraordinary productivity gains.
Occurring simultaneously is another phenomenon known as agile software development, and with it a new approach to testing software known as test-driven development. The latest evolution of test-driven development is known as behavior-driven development, and is attracting wide attention particularly among the Ruby community. Among all the activity in this area is Google's recent announcement it would be participating in the RSpec project, which is a key component to implementing behavior-driven development for Ruby/Rails projects.
Agile processes and test/behavior-driven development are quickly becoming mainstream topics, and Foundations of RSpec: Behavior-Driven Development with Ruby and Rails will be the go-to guide for taking advantage of these cutting-edge approaches to development.
