# RSpec

Behaviour Driven Development for Ruby

# Description

rspec is a meta-gem, which depends on the
[rspec-core](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core),
[rspec-expectations](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-expectations)
and [rspec-mocks](https://github.com/rspec/rspec-mocks) gems. Each of these
can be installed separately and loaded in isolation using `require`. Among
other benefits, this allows you to use rspec-expectations, for example, in
Test::Unit::TestCase if you happen to prefer that style.

Conversely, if you like RSpec's approach to declaring example groups and
examples (`describe` and `it`) but prefer Test::Unit assertions and
[mocha](https://github.com/freerange/mocha), [rr](https://github.com/rr/rr)
or [flexmock](https://github.com/jimweirich/flexmock) for mocking, you'll be
able to do that without having to install or load the components of RSpec that
you're not using.
