One of RSpec's many neat features is the ability to insert placeholder specs. These allow you to list a whole bunch of expected behaviour up front, without having to implement either the specs or the code, and without creating a huge swath of failing specs. All you need to do is omit the body of the specify or it block. Here's a trivial example:
RUBY:
-
describe "The string 'foo'" do
-
before do
-
@foo = 'foo'
-
end
-
-
it "should be three characters long" do
-
@foo.size.should == 3
-
end
-
-
it "should be capitalised to 'Foo'"
-
end
