[rspec-devel] Stories vs. examples

[Ian Dees]

Hi, all.

Wow, lots of thoughtful commentary.  Thanks, everyone!

In our shop, they're usually different people, though perhaps part of
that is because we're not using the Story Runner yet.  A designer
draws screen mockups and writes descriptions of what the controls and
dialogs do, her work gets dissected by a bunch of backseat drivers, a
tester writes the use cases, and then either the same tester or
another developer translates the use cases into RSpec (with the help
of some automation).

Funny you should mention that.  In a couple of months, I'm going to
need a couple more reviewers for just that reason.  Interested?
