I think you're talking about state-based, blackbox testing, rather than behavior-based whitebox testing. RSpec unit tests are all about speccing that one object calls another object's method at the right time. The idea being that if that behavior occurs, and that the other object's method has been similarly tested, that you're OK. ///ark _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
