Acceptance specification is distinguished from unit specification by separating the test code from the expectation definition. Let's look at another example of how to use acceptance specification in Specs2:
package com.packt
import org.specs2.Specification
class ExampleAcceptanceSpec extends Specification { def is =
"Our example specification" ^
"and we should run t1 here" ! t1 ^
"and we should run t2 here" ! t2
def t1 = success
def t2 = pending
}
The thing not to be missed here is the specification that is imported. Unlike the unit specification, we are importing org.spec2.Specification here instead of org.spec2.mutable.Specification.
In this example, the is method is the one that bootstraps the entire test. A fragment, which contains all the examples, is returned in this method.
The technique gives back a Fragments object containing every one of the cases...
