Shared examples

Use it together with share_examples_for like this:

share_examples_for "a shape" do
  it "should have a color" do
    # ...
  end

  it "should have a center point" do
    # ...
  end
end

describe "a circle" do
  it_should_behave_like "a shape"

  it "should be round" do
    # ...
  end
end

     @shape.color.should == :black
   end
 end

describe "a circle" do
  before(:all) do
    @shape = Circle.new
  end 
  it_should_behave_like "a shape"
