Almost.  AFAIK, autotest used to work with both Rails' built-in tests
and RSpec, but at some point the script was split.  So now you use
autospec for RSpec and autotest otherwise.

Autospec and autotest are part of the ZenTest package, but ZenTest is
more than just those scripts: it contains the logic necessary for
autotest to do incremental testing.  So it's a bit of an
oversimplification to say that autospec is referred to as ZenTest.

I've noticed a lot of people going this way.  Why?  What are Shoulda's
advantages over RSpec?

I like what you're doing with this thread, BTW!
