rspec users - Jan 2008 - testing modules

I''ve developed a module to include in ActiveRecord derived classes. Can
I
test the module without having to tie it to a particular class? atm,
I''m
including it in my User class and writing the tests in user_spec.rb, but I
don''t like the idea of tying the module tests to those of the class.

I may extract the specs to a shared description and include that in the
specs for each model which uses the module. is that the right way to do it?

I''d appreciate any thoughts or suggestions

I like to stick this sort of thing in a plugin, and write specs in the
plugin, that way it has nothing to do with your production code.
