Is anybody using the Specter BDD Framework?
I was reading the example chapter from the book by Ayende and on the website of the Boo language I saw a reference to the Specter BDD Framework. I am wondering if anybody is using it in their project, how that works out and if there are more examples and/or suggested readings. Just in case you are wondering, I'm a C# developer and so I...
Rhino Mocks - How can I test that at least one of a group of methods is called?
Say I have an interface IFoo which I am mocking. There are 3 methods on this interface. I need to test that the system under test calls at least one of the three methods. I don't care how many times, or with what arguments it does call, but the case where it ignores all the methods and does not touch the IFoo mock is the failure case. I...
RSpec Stories and Specs: When to use what?
So I want to start using RSpec stories, but I am not sure where writing controller, model and view specs fit in. For example, you have the story "Logging in" with "User provides wrong password" scenario, don't you end up testing the same stuff than controller/model specs (response.should render..., user.should be_nil, etc.) So my ques...

Shoulda testing workflow from the trenches
Everyone is talking about TDD (BDD) in Rails (and not just Rails) development world today. It's easy to find plenty of good general information about it, there are quite a few tools you can use for this purpose and there are many (good) examples of how to use them.

What is the most mature BDD Framework for .NET?
We have been using BDD (from Dan North's perspective) as a mechanism to record user acceptance tests and drive development on a couple of projects, with decent success. To date though we have not actually automated the tests themselves. I am now looking in to automating the tests, but I am not sure which behaviour framework to back. So ...

Any BDD success stories out there?
Having written a small article on BDD, I got questions from people asking whether there are any cases of large-scale use of BDD (and specifically NBehave). So my question goes to the community: do you have a project that used BDD successfully? If so, what benefits did you get, and what could have been better? Would you do BDD again? Wo...

Moving the development process will be a huge task itself as the paradigm changes, a shift happens in the thought process and the outlook o...
What Should be Tested
If a customer has a requirement - product names should not be more than 50 characters long, does this suggest a story/spec should be written for this if the framework being used already has a well tested validation framework (Rails for instance). To be more general, should one test the specifics for each area of validation for the parti...
Rhino Mocks - Stub .Expect vs .AssertWasCalled
Disclosure: I am a Rhino Mocks n00b! OK, I know there has been a lot of confusion over the new AAA syntax in Rhino Mocks, but I have to be honest, from what I have seen so far, I like. It reads better, and saves on some keystrokes. However, I am having problems getting my head around this, and seek some advice to make sure I am not mis...

How do you spec out "read-only" behavior of a Model?
For example, let's say I have a Question model, that has the boolean fields answered and closed. How would I test the behavior that a Question should be read only when marked as answered using RSpec? This seems like it's the behavior of the model, but I'm not sure how to best test it. Should I be using a before filter for this behavio...
What's the state of TDD and/or BDD in PHP?
How widespread, supported, developed is testing in the PHP world? On par with Java? Up there with Ruby/Rails? I Googled and found that testing frameworks exist but I'm wondering if they're widely used.
