Facebooker talk - Mar 2009 - shoulda tested better

We''ve made quite a few contributions in our facebooker fork
(http://github.com/collectiveidea/facebooker
), but unfortunately, one thing some of our contributions have in  
common with many others is the lack of testing.  I want to change  
that.  I''d like to help lead an effort to make the facebooker tests  
better.

One thing that I think would help is a little better organization and  
cleanup of the existing test suite.  Part of it is just baggage from  
lots of copying and pasting, but some of it is just inherent to  
Test::Unit.  Would anyone be opposed to moving towards using Shoulda  
or RSpec for the tests?  I think they would allow us to clean up the  
test suite and make it more accessible to contributors.

I''ve personally been a long time fan of RSpec, but I think Shoulda  
would be a better fit here.

Thoughts?

I think this is a fantastic idea. Even I have a tough time adding  
tests at times. I''d really like to clean that up. I''m fine
with either
shoulda or rspec.
