The Death Knell for TDD

Posted by Jeremy Voorhis Sun, 16 Oct 2005 18:30:00 GMT

RubyConf has wrapped up and as you would expect, it has left us with some great, new ideas to chew on.

One of the most exciting ideas to me is Obie’s new DSL for a specification framework in Ruby. According to his most recent blog post, his muse came to him after pairing with Aslak on the RSpec code at RubyConf. The language has a concept of Stories, Actors and Scenarios, and replaced the long and banal underscore-separated method names that you’re probably used to with a much more natural free-form human readable string.

If you’re impatient and you want to migrate away from TDD right now, I recommend you check out RSpec, but definitely keep an eye on Obie – he’s on fire!
