RSpec is a Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) testing framework for Ruby, composed of modular libraries: rspec-core (spec runner), rspec-expectations (readable matchers), rspec-mocks (test doubles), and rspec-rails (Rails integration). This particular repository is the historical meta-gem under the original maintainer, with its last release in 2015; active development has moved to the rspec organization.

Use cases

• write behavior-driven specs for ruby code
• test ruby on rails applications with rspec
• run a spec suite from the command line
• use test doubles and mocks in ruby tests
• express expected outcomes with readable matchers
• replace minitest with a bdd framework in rails

When to choose

• you want a mature, widely adopted BDD/testing framework for Ruby or Rails
• you need a spec runner, expectations, and mocking as composable libraries
• you prefer readable, descriptive test output and matcher APIs

When to avoid

• you need the latest RSpec features or releases - use the actively maintained rspec/rspec repositories instead
• you want a framework under active maintenance from this specific repo, which last released in 2015
• you are testing non-Ruby code
