Ruby on Rails Tuesday, August 27, 2013

My personal experience, of course, but the only time I'll ever write Cucumber features is if plain-english acceptance tests are a requirement.  Otherwise (95% of the time), I'm quite happy with the RSpec/Capybara combo.  The overhead of having to wire together plain-english to regular expressions just doesn't pay off in the end for normal acceptance testing.

So far, I've been using RSpec for testing my Rails apps simply because that's what railstutorial.org emphasizes.

However, I am in the process of trying out Cucumber.  I like the fact that it's in plain English, and this is an asset for communicating with clients or other people who aren't Rubyists.  Migrating to Cucumber sounds like a good idea.

I'm curious about what you prefer.  Do any of you know Cucumber well, yet still prefer RSpec?  If so, why?
