Just reading up on BDD

I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of behavior driven development, but I'm not sure how it will work in practice. It supports the idea of YAGNI nicely (you ain't gonna need it) through the emphasis on building the simplest thing that passes the test or scenario.

Wish I had a simpler real-world project to test drive but the one I'm working on right now is in Flex... not that it's not possible to use rspec and FunFX, just that I'd like something more basic to learn on. Here's another FunFX link though http://peternic.blogspot.com/

If you're interested in rspec, there's a Pragmatic Programmer's book on it http://www.pragprog.com/titles/achbd/the-rspec-book - it's still in beta right now, but they'll sell you the pdf. (pragprog: an affiliate program would be nice, hint)

rspec/cucumber

Time to catch up on some reading...

Behavior driven development (BDD) with rspec and cucumber - don't know much about it yet but PragProg has a new book in beta The RSpec Book and a link to getting that working with JRuby and Java http://wiki.github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/jruby-and-java
