Scribal

Scribal is a Description Language specification and execution engine. The Description Language can be considered a TDL (Test Description Language) or BDL (Business Description Language). These the terms to indicate a language where elaborated requirements and tests become largely the same artifact.

Scribal uses Gherkin to process test specifications similar to solutions like Cucumber and Spinach. Scribal is a direct clone of Turnip.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'scribal'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install scribal

Usage

Scribal uses RSpec as a test runner which means you execute Scribal tests by creating a spec directory that contains test specification files.

To allow RSpec to utilize the Scribal execution mechanism, you can create an .rspec file in your project directory and add the following line:

-r scribal/rspec
