Comment on describe vs. context in rspec by Raymond

Yes, in case you use rspec as acceptance/integration tests framework.

I think a more accurate definition of “individual scenarios” is the scenarios to test the same functionality under different states of the system.

^^ for integration or request specs that is.

I was wondering how others were using context, so this is insightful, thanks.

Another way of illustrating their relationship would be to use “describe” to wrap the user story and the “context” to wrap individual scenarios.

yes, you are right. it’s a typo, thanks

You wrote “context” is just a alias method of “context”, but I think you meant ““context” is just a alias method of “describe””. Yes?
