Overview
MSpec is called a "context/specification" test framework because of the "grammar" that is used in describing and coding the tests or "specs". That grammar reads roughly like this
When the system is in such a state, and a certain action occurs, it should do such-and-such or be in some end state.
You should be able to see the components of the traditional Arrange-Act-Assert model in there. To support readability and remove as much "noise" as possible, MSpec eschews the traditional attribute-on-method model of test construction. It instead uses custom .NET delegates that you assign anonymous methods and asks you to name them following a certain convention.
