RSpec is a behavior-driven development (BDD) testing framework for the Ruby programming language, used to write readable, human-friendly automated tests (specs) for application code. It is the most widely used testing tool in the Ruby on Rails ecosystem, allowing developers to describe expected behavior in a structured, English-like syntax before or alongside writing implementation code. Software engineers use it for unit, integration, and feature testing to ensure code correctness and prevent regressions.
