Sure, and you can have a step like
Given birth date is valid
Given /(.*) date is valid/ do |field|
TestData.valid_dates.each do |date|
@it.send "#{field}_date=", date
@it.should be_valid
end
TestData.invalid_dates.each do |date|
@it.send "#{field}_date=", date
@it.should_not be_valid
end
end
That gets you technical validation everywhere you need it. Then you
have another individual feature file that describes date formats.

Same ideas apply.
