What is RSpec and how do I use it for testing in Ruby?

RSpec is a testing tool for Ruby, designed to help you write and execute tests for your code. It uses a behavior-driven development (BDD) approach.

Can you show me a simple example of an RSpec test?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

RSpec.describe 'An example test' do
  it 'checks if 5 is greater than 3' do
    expect(5).to be > 3
  end
end

How do I run my RSpec tests?

You can run your RSpec tests by executing the command rspec in your terminal from the directory where your test files are located.

What are some best practices for writing RSpec tests?

Some best practices include keeping tests isolated, using descriptive names for your tests, and organizing your tests into appropriate directories.
