RSpec is a Ruby library designed for creating Specifications, to test the intended behavior of Ruby code. Unit-test your code =)

So, RSpec files follow a basic format, and understanding this format can help make test-writing easier.

context describe ... Feature before ... specify object state it ... verify Behavior

repeat =)

Using the 'context' or 'describe' command, describe a Feature

context "on homepage" do describe "the sign-up process" do before do # create User # specify website basics, generate Companies for Apartment, etc.

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.
