Mike Cohn just wrote a nice post justifying what has become the preferred template for stories in BDD:

As a role
I want feature
So that benefit

After a few months of exploring git and hosting RSpec’s git repository at github, we’re happy to announce that github is now RSpec’s official home for Source Code Management.

Tracking will continue to live at the lighthouse.

We will continue to release gems to http://rubyforge.org/projects/rspec, but we will no longer be committing changes to the subversion repository there. For Rails users who are using the rspec plugins for Rails, edge rails now supports git-hosted plugins.

We’ve broken the project up into four separate repositories:

• rspec for the rspec gem/plugin
• rspec-rails for the rspec-rails gem/plugin (formerly rspec_on_rails)
• rspec-tmbundle for the TextMate bundle
• rspec-dev for developers/contributors

See the wikis for each repository for more information about building, installing and contributing to the project.

I’m pleased to announce that Pat Maddox is joining the RSpec Development Team.

As you may already know, Pat has been contributing great patches and actively participating on the rspec-users and rspec-devel mailing lists for quite some time. He has demonstrated a deep understanding of Behaviour Driven Development in general, and specifically as it applies to Rails, which has certainly posed some of the more interesting questions on our mailing lists.

We are all excited to have Pat on board and look forward to his continued contribution.

Here are the slides from my presentation at Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise on Integration Testing with RSpec’s Story Runner.
