Spectie (rhymes with "necktie") is a pure Ruby acceptance testing framework for RSpec. The philosophy of Spectie is that, since the business stakeholders on most projects don't care about exactly how you test, you're free to write the acceptance tests on a project how *you*, the developer, need to in order to ensure that the implementation is correct, easily understood, and maintainable. Furthermore, since you're a developer, the easiest, most straight-forward and maintainable way for you to write your tests is by using the highly expressive language that you're already coding in for the project; that's Ruby, baby!
