I think spec''ing is pretty close to correct, but the apostrophe is a bit disconcerting. Perhaps spec-ing? Then again, why do we need a non-alphabetic character in there at all? I''d go with specing.

My heresy vs. pragmatism meter is wildly fluctuating. +1 for "specifying". What does specing/spec''ing refer to? The act of writing specs, or running them?
