Getting started with BDD and nSpec

Question

In a previous question found here, I asked a question about BDD and SpecFlow. The best answer was to use nSpec instead of SpecFlow.

I found nSpec, but I am having trouble finding tutorials on how to use it with C#. My google mojo isn't working for this topic.

Apart from the small instructional on the nSpec github site on how to install nSpec, does anyone have any links to good beginning tutorials on using nSpec?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same framework (whether you meant nStep or NSpec). But here is some information on NSpec.

NSpec Project Site

There is an NSpec Project Site that has a good set of features showcased to help you get started.

Sample NSpec Usage

On github, the NSpec Samples Project will give you greater insight into the framework.

Additional Resources

It's important to be aware that there are two flavors of BDD. The following link explains the two different forms, their pros and cons, and how you can benefit from each:

• What is the most mature BDD Framework for .NET?
• NSpec Project Site
• Continuous Testing
• Introduction to BDD and Mocking
• BDD using NUnit and Moq

Answer 2

You can see the Cuke4nuke (nStep's cousin) screen cast here: http://www.richardlawrence.info/2009/12/03/screencast-testing-web-applications-in-net-with-cuke4nuke-and-watin/

I think they're quite similar, so watching the screencast should get you the basic idea.
