Presenting at RailsConf 2008
January 26th, 2008
I’m going to be presenting at RailsConf 2008 on RSpec’s Story Runner. I’ll be talking about how I approach writing for the Story Runner and address several related issues including:
- plain text stories vs pure Ruby (when is which appropriate?)
- extending the RailsStory with custom helpers
- testing forms using webrat within the Story Runner
- finding a balance of domain and UI scenarios
- duplication between stories/scenarios and model/view/controller/helper examples
That’s probably already more than I can cover fairly in a 45 minute presentation, but feel free to make other suggestions if you have them.
See you in Portland!

That should be a great presentation. I hadn’t heard of webrat before. It’s looks pretty sweet. I don’t suppose you could do a write-up of using webrat with the Story Runner before May? ;)

Congrats David! If you’re looking to do a practice run we’re still accepting proposals for GoRuCo :-)
