Hi, as there is in last days some discussion how rspec can be used as specification or not and I would like to document how bootloader do its proposal, so I take it as oppurinity to write it in RSpec.
Output for better formatting is placed to pastebin http://pastebin.com/raw/8YhuWwVi
Please ignore for now typos. I am more interested if it is readable for you as specification how bootloader is proposed.
Yes, it is a good summary of the requirements!
No, these do not look like requirements but as *one* solution. Requirements should include the motivation.
Yes, it is not requirements, it is specification how it works. Requirements and explanation why something is done in given way is captured in comments in code. Specification only say what it do, not why.
I see. As specifications go, RSpec is fairly low level I think. Would it be useful to use something higher level, for example Cucumber? It focuses on descriptions readable by non-programmers which are transformed into code and executed as tests.
I tried Cucumber in the past.
I have never found a non-programmer that can read Cucumber. :-)
Moreover, the extra work needed to maintain Cucumber never paid off in the mid-term. We switched to RSpec. Those complaining that RSpec forces the programmer to be more verbose than it should be required will probably simply suicide if exposed to Cucumber. ;-)
Cheers.
PS.- A funny side note, I think the RSpec reference documentation is actually generated using Cucumber. http://www.relishapp.com/rspec/
RSpec use cucumber for its integration testing ;) https://github.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/tree/master/features Otherwise I agree with you regarding cucumber. In long term I found maintaining rspec easier then cucumber and benefits from cucumber almost never appears and rspec output is good for me ( that why I asked on this mailing list if I am alone with that opinion or how others see it ).
