Rails - Feb 2006 - Rails, rSpec and BDD

I''ve decided that I want to use more automated tests because
I''ve been
intrigued by the idea of BDD.

I am new to using tests, so I''m curious if there have been any writeup 
on using rSpec.

This is one of the only ones I''ve found:
http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2005/11/17/building-a-plugin-on-rspec


It seems that the benefit of BDD is that it makes it easier to use tests 
in the intial design.
I guess I also like the languaging more.

Do the more experienced developer think it''s a mistake for me to
explore
rSpec vs. just using the standard  "assert_"  type tests?

thanks,
Bryan

I myself am holding off on using BDD and RSPec until Steve solidifies the
interface a bit more.

We''re rolling out a new release next week, with a new interface.

I''m adding a Rake task, and a Rails plugin at that time.  Before the
end of the month, your Rails apps will have optional RSpec love.  Try
not to get any on your clothes.
