One of the tricky things about expressive code is that it is very hard to see how noisy a code base is. What I found […]

It started as a fork of the Fact framework but eventually I decided to try some ideas that arose in a conversation with Fábio and Rob: use RFC-2119 semantics to describe tests. RTFSpec is my take on this approach.
Here is an example from the […]
