Better Specs is a community-driven collection of RSpec and Rails testing best practices, published as the betterspecs.org website. The repository contains the Jekyll source for the site, which presents guidelines for writing clear, well-organized specs.

Use cases

• learn how to write better RSpec tests
• find Rails testing best practices
• improve spec readability with contexts and short descriptions
• onboard a team to consistent testing conventions
• contribute testing guidelines for other languages and frameworks

When to choose

• you write Ruby/RSpec tests and want established conventions
• you need a reference to standardize your team's spec style
• you want inspiration for organizing describe/context/it blocks

When to avoid

• you need a testing tool or library rather than guidelines
• you work outside Ruby/RSpec and need framework-specific tooling
• you need executable linters enforcing test style
