#RailsPacific - Taming Chaotic Specs - RSpec Design Patterns

Don’t you hate when testing takes 3x as long because your specs are hard to understand? Following a few simple patterns, you can easily take a bloated spec and make it DRY and simple to extend. We will take a bloated sample spec and refactor it to something manageable, readable and concise.

6. Taming Chaotic Specs RSpec Design Patterns
7. Not what to test, But…
8. Patterns to follow when structuring the test(s)
9. 1. Communicate expectations 2. Encourage consistency 3. Reduce the mental load Design Patterns…
10. Minimum Valid Object
11. 1. Start with a “valid” object 2. Make one specific change 3. Assert the “valid” object is now “invalid” M.V.O. Workflow…
