Forum: RSpec generate user-readable tests from Rspec tests?

I have been writing manual tests and dabbled in Cucumber.  I like that
end users can read the Cucumber tests.  Is there a way to generate
user-readable tests from Rspec tests or Watir tests?

Thank you.

You can write your own Formatter[1] if the existing ones don't work for 
you.
The default RSpec document format is already available[2] - just pass
`--format doc` as a param when running the specs.

Best,
Sidu.

Sorry my question was not clear.

I am mostly testing Java web applications (I do not know Rails).  Will
Formatter[1] work without Rails?

I watched the video and it looks like it just outputs test results.  I
need to output a test-narrative similar to:
  Given some context
  When some event occurs
  Then I expect some outcome.
Then the end users will review the test-narrative before we start
development. Is there a tool that can generate a test-narrative from
Rspec tests or Watir tests?

Thanks Sidu.

See

Also, you can get a good start by typing `rspec help`.

HTH,
David

Now I understand better.  Goggling "rspec formatter" shows that there 
are formatters for progress, documentation, and html.  This will make 
more sense after I learn Rspec.

Thank you David and Sidu.
