RSpec 3.x Goodness

RSpec 3.3 was released "way back" in June, but I just looked into it, and it provides a new "aggregate_failures" feature. This allows RSpec to run test setup code once for multiple expectations. This moves away from the "one expectation per example" pattern while still running all tests (normally, if you include multiple expectations in a single test, the first failing expectation will short circuit the rest). Used properly, I would expect massive performance increases with feature specs, in particular! In a similar vein, the 3.x series also introduces "compound expectations" for checking a result value against multiple criteria all at once via "and" and "or" composing methods. And if you haven't seen 3.0's "composable matchers", have a look!
