Rspec in a nutshell: dis and mock

Writing tests with Rspec is all about disssing your code and mockery. Feel free to point and laugh at it, too.

Kidding. But it does give us a handy-dandy mnemonic for basic Rspec syntax

describe Project do
  it "should be able to abbreviate its name" do
    mock_project = mock_model(Project, :name => "My Big Project")
    mock_project.abbr.should == "MyBP"
  end
end

1. Describe
2. It
3. Spec
4. Mock

Hmm. An optional Context throws this off a bit.  Well, you'll just have to memorize "d(c)is" on your own.
