Very nice.... the ability to see your workflow helps me a ton. I guess I needed to see what other developers did. I have a project that I started, but then quit until I nailed down the testing. I will have to catch up on the code I have already written, but I'm grasping the cucumber and rspec correlation now. On anything new I will start with Cucumber and then to rspec to iron out the actual code.
Thanks!
