Introduction to Ruby Testing with RSpec

github.com/deniseyu

At a high level,

Testing code allows developers to know that the code is working as expected,

no more, and no less.

Test Driven Development: Why?

• 'What?' before 'How?'
• Refactoring is easy
• Maintainability

Ex: fizzbuzzing

require 'fizzbuzz'

describe Fizzbuzz do

    it 'says "Fizz" on a number that divides by 3' do
        fizzbuzz = Fizzbuzz.new
        expect(fizzbuzz.says(3)).to eq 'Fizz'
    end

end

spec/fizzbuzz_spec.rb

Ex: fizzbuzzing

Ex: fizzbuzzing

class Fizzbuzz
  def says(number)
    'Fizz' if number % 3 == 0
  end
end

Take that, failing tests!
