David Chelimsky: Presenting at RailsConf 2008

Presenting at RailsConf 2008

David — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:15:59 -0500

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!

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

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? ;)
